7 years as an entrepreneur and 1 takeaway: Ship more

@marianandre @jackfriks aye aye

@jackfriks I'm in 😍 ship-or-die.com/u/marian-andr

i made an app that feeds you to the sharks if you don't publicly launch your own product in 30 days. no more of this: "dude i just 100x'ed my workflow with this new AI model"... meanwhile... 0 projects launched 0 revenue 0 users 100 x 0 = still 0. it's time to go from 0 to 1. it's time to: SHlPORDIE.COM 🏴‍☠️. ship a new product every 30 days until one changes your life or... DIE, in the app, and get kicked from the community forever while being publicly humiliated. no refunds for those who fail to ship. custom trophies to be collected for those who succeed. if you DO ship, you also get to remain in a community of people who actually ship things and get users ++ revenue. sidenote: i'm really excited to see if this can be the push someone needs like how @marclou's shipfast project pushed me and is the entire reason i have a $35K MRR solo operated SaaS now and many other successful mobile apps GLHF, DON'T DIE, and KEEP GOING!! i've never taken a launch this legit so let's see how it goes :)

@marclou what is the average time to first 10k for the ones that survived ?

Your daily reminder that entrepreneurship is hard. n = 7,174 startups

@burakbuilds Yep

@marclou I guess 0-1K's are closer to 0, right?

@Pauline_Cx *per startup Not per founder

@marclou All time revenue ?

@Pauline_Cx Yep

@jackfriks Who wouldn’t after meeting this awesome guy??

me and this french guy i met on the internet shipped something together today 🥰🥰

@dmytrovirych @jackfriks welcome aboard shipmate 🫡

@marclou @jackfriks I’m glad to be a part of your journey 🫣

I made a game where you have to ship a startup every 30 days. If you miss the deadline, you die ☠️ It's called SHlPORDIE.COM. It uses the same game mechanics that kept me addicted to World of Warcraft: You start as a Noob Pirate, and you complete quests to level up, like buying your 1st domain or getting 1,000 visitors. There's Discord for the social part, but you need to keep shipping to stay in (otherwise, everybody can see you walked the plank). Since 2022, I've launched one startup per month, and it has changed my life. I hope this game will change yours too.

@FlowHaa Hacker news, X, product hunt. Anything works as long as it’s public + include your domain name + has a buy button

@FlowHaa All quests are automated with code And we manually review the launch post by end for now (you must share your product publicly to stay in)

@florianbaraz Financially yes

@marclou Do you actually die if you miss the deadline?

@ybouane Aye aye 🫡

@marclou Last month i shipped 4 products 🙃

@orcdev Loyal UD mage for 4 years sir 🫡

@marclou omg you played wow are you part of the horde?

@jackfriks New “don’t your dare give up” just dropped

Shout out to the Ship or Die 𝕏 community by @woocassh. If I know he coined the name, I'd have picked a different one, but I just learned about it last week 🥲

It's also the first time I'm shipping a startup not solo! I'm doing it with @jackfriks because he's awesome on 𝕏 and IRL. Ah, and since I can't kick myself out of my own game, I'll give him my 50% share of the startup if I fail the 30-day challenge. Aye 🫡

✅ Startup Acquisition #93 on @trust_mrr ✅ AI education app with $228 all-time revenue sold for $1,000. It's the second acquisition for the founder @luchocruz_dev, and he's really young!

But if you don't give up, it pays back. (data from TrustMRR.com/stats)
