One of the best things I heard today was @perplexity_ai CEO @AravSrinivas on @lexfridman podcast asking "where do you get your dopamine from?" as a way to self-reflect about your motivations. Identifying this will help to give you founder-market and founder-product fit.

If you landed on these two company websites, which would you trust more and why?

Attention startup founders! 🚨 94% of first impressions are visual. The first thing potential investors do is check out your website and LinkedIn profile. LinkedIn's a breeze, but nailing a standout website? That's a whole different ball game. A great site won't guarantee an investment, but a bad one can end your chances before you even begin.

@nico_jeannen @acquiredotcom congrats on the success and journey, lots of hard work. I appreciate the transparency. Great to collect on a lump sum like that. I think you're right, you could have gotten significantly more based on MRR and growth rate, but either way, good work! Would love to sync up sometime

I just sold my startup Talknotes for $200,000 on @acquiredotcom 💸🤯🤩💰🥳🎉 I launched it last August when I was looking for an idea I could grow with paid ads, and made a MVP in one week. I took it from $0 to $7500 MRR in just 11 months. 👉 Here is how I grew it from zero: 💡 Idea: I got the idea when I tried to write a tweet using Google Doc's transcription tool, but it was terrible. And I was pretty sure I wasn't the one too lazy to type. So I made my own solution, and Talknotes was created. The audience is pretty broad so it was a perfect fit for Meta ads However… ✅ Validation: My rule is to only reinvest what the project generates, so, no ads until I make enough cashflow ❌ Listing on startup directories + a few Twitter sales generated $700 after 10 days. Yes, it's not much, but more than enough to show there is interest in the product and tell me to keep working on it 🤩 x.com/nico_jeannen/s… I started adding the features users requested, but the launch effect started to wear off and daily revenues quickly went to $0 after a few weeks 🫥 I got depressed and almost gave up on the app... 😔 But luckily, my friends @marclou and @DanKulkov pushed me to continue And I'm glad they did because In October, I launched on @ProductHunt and it blew up 🤯 It got Product of the Day and reached $1500 MRR thanks to the media coverage 🚀🚀 Until then, everything was done using vanilla JS/CSS/HTML + Node for back end. It's simple and easy, but I saw the limitations, so I remade the app using @nuxt_js to make it easier in the future 🏗️ (thanks to @blackevilgoblin and @piotr_jura for the content/courses! @Timb03 as well for the basics!) After that, I took a break and then launched ads on Facebook. The strategy is simple: Catch people's attention, and show them how the app can help them improve their life. No need to over-complicate 🙅‍♂️ Making good creatives is 80% of the job when doing ads on Facebook, most of the technical stuff is done by AI now. Thanks to the boost in traffic, I implemented a feedback loop: 1) Get new users 👥 2) Learn to know them with the onboarding form 💬 3) Make more ads based on the data you get from onboarding 📝 And it completely blew up. MRR doubled in ~2 months However... In May, I had a bad burnout 🥵😩 Multiple bugs slipped into the app, and I had to spend 2 days fixing everything in an emergency while revenues plummeted. This completely fucked me up mentally and had a hard time working on the app after that (x.com/nico_jeannen/s…) 💀💀 So I decided to list it on @acquiredotcom and made a Twitter post (x.com/nico_jeannen/s…) I listed it for $200,000, a pretty low price considering the revenues and fast growth. I could have gotten $300,000 if I accepted payment over time, but $200,000 today is better than $300,000 tomorrow for me. 🚨 The process went smoothly until we tried to use Escrow, which almost fucked up the whole deal. (details: x.com/nico_jeannen/s…) I got extremely lucky because the buyer really wanted to buy the app, but this could have ended the deal. We had to wait over a week to get the money back from them, even tho they said they already refunded it. But luckily, after threatening them, they sent it back the next day 🙃 The buyer finally got the money back, I transferred every asset to him, and he sent me the wire. With the profit made from the app + the sale, and other projects, I'm 30% away from being a millionaire 🤯 With this amount, I can pretty much retire in Asia if I want to. But that's just the beginning, I’m going to launch new projects soon! 🚀 But before that, I need to take a real vacation and detox. My brain is completely fucked up by those last 2 months. I gained weight, and got brain rot from scrolling all day waiting for the acquisition to move forward 💀💀 Surprisingly, doing absolutely nothing is 10x more exhausting than working 15h per day 🥱 Now, all this might sound like an overnight success. It is not ‼️ This is the result of 7 years of failure and working like a madman. I launched over 40 projects in those 7 years, and most of them failed. But a few took off, and that’s all I needed All those weeks working 15h/day without weekends and vacation feels soul-sucking when you don’t see the end, but this is what took me there You only need to win once to snowball everything. Work hard, focus, fail a lot and keep shipping fast. 🚀🚀 Thanks to you for reading until here, and thanks to everyone who supported me 🤞

Quick update: We've invested substantial effort into building the foundation of our product over the past couple years, and we're now starting to see the benefits and potential unfold. Morphic's unique capability to design custom websites tailored to customer-specific information, industry best practices, and advanced design methodologies allows it to explain the designs concepts implemented on their site to users. The Design Walkthrough is a pivotal feature that simplifies the sophisticated design decision-making algorithms into simple language for anyone to understand. In contrast to generic templates and features that lack specificity to the user's business, this is a transformative advancement in the world of design that democratizes access to top-quality, custom design for all. #futureofdesign #ai #customdesign #morphic #automation #feature

I like to build. What can I say? Figured I'd play around with some of the work I'm already doing and formalize it a bit more. As someone who grew up in a family of builders, who literally built homes for people, the name felt too obvious and too appropriate. We'll see where this all goes!... with some new projects already in the works. If you are thinking about building your own company and looking for partners to help you build it, drop a line! And always fun to work with great people again, so thanks @westonbaker for the help, with an awesome new company @getmorphic1 and awesome tech you've built.

Congrats to @DanReich on the new site for Company Builders! We first started working together nearly 10 years ago in the early days of Troops. Very excited to see the already awesome portfolio grow over time. Let's go! #launch #morphic #companybuilders #website #design #designautomation

After I saw this Webflow ad I just had to make this.. Morphic enables businesses to skip the designer completely, which means 1) Skip the unspecific templates 2) skip the long timelines 3) skip the high designer/agency fees and go straight to your #custom #website that is built, easy to edit and ready to launch. We're building the digital agency design process, web best practices, creative solutions and designer brain right into the platform so it designs for YOU. #highqualitydesign #morphic #websitedesign #launch

🚨 Design rant warning... I can't help but notice poor design as there is a lot more of it than good design out there.. this one has bothered me for a while. While driving a couple months back, I pointed out the logo on the car in front of us and said "what is this KN brand? Their logo is too big" and she said "oh, the KIA?" and my mouth dropped.. I couldn't believe the lettering was so poorly executed that I didn't even read it correctly. For my own sanity, I had to dive in and analyze what wasn't working and propose a fix. @Kia_Worldwide please consider this design update. I'll do it for free, no joke. Here are some explanations of the current design issues: - The vertical and diagonal merge visually in the K and this is repeated to the right, inviting the viewer to see the vertical and horizontal as merged. - The letter K is very clear, as it has identifiable features, but the I and A are not clear, so their merged geometries begins to form a backwards N. - When a logo is viewed almost half the time in a mirror, it's mirror image needs to be considered. The current logo reads a very clear N and backwards K. - The width of the K and the width of the IA are nearly the same, furthering the reading of it as two letters. - Too big and bold, weird style, but i'll let that pass because you have bigger fish to fry. What do you all think? Am I just being overly picky and analytical or did you notice issues also? #designrant #kia #logo #brandingfail #logoredesign @Kia

This happens almost daily: Just had a VC customer say “omg, I just realized how huge this need is.. I was f*cking wasting my time trying to update this template on [enter any website builder] and thought okay I need a designer.. but then I went on Morphic and it’s like my design copilot that just does it for me.”

Wow. #earthquake in NYC. First one in a while

Once again, we're the highest rated website builder, but not that many people know about us.. yet. The scale on the y axis is Popularity. We can feel the rumbling starting though ;) Thanks @Capterra #morphic #websitebuilder

Wow. Just found some old notes when I was first brainstorming the @getmorphic1 logic flow. The amount of sophistication that we’ve built since this is kind of cool to think about. The best is yet to come 💪 #brainstorming #ai #logic #automation #notebook #sketch #diagram
