Shaswat Deep

8 In 10 retail traders lose money. Not because they lack tools. Because every tool is built for analysts. For this, we built @usemoneyAI so that every retail investor can get institutional-level details with no time and no learning curve. Building as part of @Devlabs_club

We dont get funds and support for simple SaaS platforms that too in age of AI, where the requirements are less, forget about building Frontier Tech with current ecosystem. Govt bodies which all are doing exceptionally well, have 1/10 of budget for freebees and the layoffs are yet to start

@sabeer What type of businesses do you think Indian entrepreneurs should look to start?

Dhandha culture has taken over the nation. A large percentage of new startups seem to be some variation of trading, brokerage, delivery, arbitrage or reselling rather than creating fundamentally new technologies or inventions. Have we optimized an entire generation for commerce instead of curiosity? Is the education system partly to blame for producing job seekers and traders rather than inventors, scientists and creators?

@iarjuntandon @usemoneyAI Just saying

@iarjuntandon @usemoneyAI If thats true than there should never be any RIAs or RAs in the world and everything will run via institutional money And no business news or papers

Retail traders: drawing trendlines on TradingView Meanwhile Jane Street trading infrastructure:

@KaiXCreator In that case, Steve Jobs cannot be called the founder of @Apple, or only the developers can be called founders. Building is just one leg, and using AI is not removing it, but simplyfying it and making it quicker with low cost Writing code is not the only job of founders

Can you call yourself a founder if your entire product was built by Claude?

This is how I ship, tens of thousands of LOCs almost every week. Currently revamping the UI of @usemoneyAI because of the feedback we got from early users and the survey No more vibe-coded vibes. New UI coming live this week Last week of the Momentum of @Devlabs_club

@rauchg What about early solo first-time founders with nearly zero distribution

How do you build a great brand? Build a great product

@aaron_epstein There is one issue with that for bootstrapped founders - No Money Living with parents at hometown to keep costs and expenses zero while I build @usemoneyAI

The biggest hack I’ve seen for founders to close deals faster: just show up. Get on a plane, fly to their office, meet in person, bond with the whole team. Instantly replaces weeks of zoom calls.

@amarifields_ 10k helps - legal structure setup, hiring couple of interns for bug fixing, small but needed tickets and most importantly for travel expenses to meet investors in SF snd be there without being broke

serious question is a $1k-$10k investment actually enough to help founders today or are we underestimating how expensive it’s become just to survive while building

@jointhebridge But by Tuesday it will be updated with correct formatted website. Landing page almost done. Started yesterday evening

@deepshaswat Was it vibe coded ?

@ builders What are you working on this week end?

@AllenWangzian @ycombinator Free feedback from a test engineer turned founder.

This was one mistake I had been making for the past 2 years. For building @usemoneyAI, taking regular feedback and surveys has been helping and driving the product. Being solo, the build is fast, and we make a lot of turnaround within a week. 2 weeks ago, I updated the UI and got feedback; it feels like vibecoded. Started working on new UI yesterday, and in the next 2 days at most, the new UI will be live. usemoney.ai

Please get addicted to talking to your customers as a founder

@jointhebridge The landing page design was
