I spent the last 2 years building startups
I've become a jack of all trades
And I'm having trouble landing a job
So I'm slashing my rates LIKE CRAZY

How did this kid who never went to university end up at McKinsey?

The goal was to never get a job again. But this year was harder for me outside of work stuff, and I think a job would actually be relaxing for a bit.
I think my startups will probably become profitable, which is why I’ll continue to invest, especially in borderline.
But a year…

Went to a coworking space today:
- Very few people
- Bad coffee
- Dirty furniture
Most coworking spaces suck, which is why I continue to work from home.
I wonder, what would make a truly attractive corworking space?

That simple.

I'll pick the highest one in 1 week
If you're the only bid, even if it's $100, I'll build it

I launched 2 years before MicroAcquire
I had the most liquid micro acquisition marketplace at one point
You can't beat $11m in funding as a dude tho
But still, I'm going to continue building Borderline as it has a loyal following of investors!
Because artificially limits the multiple
I tried listing and they manually change your multiple to a super low one like 2x-3x
Then they publish annual reports of the "market" multiples, but how does this work when THEY set them?

My last tweet was me getting annoyed at receiving 12+ rejections in one day
It went VIRAL
I offered to build an MVP for the highest bidder
The top few bids are over $2-3k
My plan is to pick 3 clients to build MVPs for over the next few weeks
If you want yours built, DM me :)

I think you gotta define labor. A child working in a sweat shop 11 hours a day for a pittance is probably not what you mean.
You're imagine a 11 year old chopping logs or mowing the grass for a little side income. Which I agree is super healthy for a kid to do.

I feel for the guy tho. Deleting Insta made me feel disconnected from people I used to feel like were in my circle.
I now use insta sparingly and I think that's better than not using it at all which can feel disconnecting.

Similar numbers for Dubai!
I tried a bunch of things on my savings, but ended up not making a dent in revenue, nothing at all.
It's a tough game. My biggest lesson I've learned is:
Build distribution & audience before product.

Working with Next/React is like playing a 1500 elo chess player. You can keep up but it's much more tiring to play..
Building with Express/simple stacks is like playing a low ranked player. You can win on a bad day too.
That's why

Cost of running a business in Dubai:
- biz license + business visas = $10k/year
- corporate tax = 9% (threshold is $100k)
- then $2-3k/yr for an accountant
- banking is a pain, a real pain
so that's the low down!

Oh and the winning bid this week was $1,500
Lower than the max bid of $3,000
BECAUSE?
Scope! It had clear defined scope.
Gonna pick another MVP to build next week.

In the corporate world, all failures are pivots.
I've seen companies spend north of $200m+ to enter a market in ad spend and ops, fail, back out, quietly change leadership and move on.
From their perspective it makes sense. Why bother giving your competitors ammunition?

Some of you are such cowards.
You're afraid to speak up, because your investors/employers would act against you.

I've always wanted to start a Toy Store.
One which wasn't like Toy R Us, selling Marvel garbage.
Which sold Arduino's, mechanical robots, magnets, to-scale trains, rockets & construction kits.
One where the motto was to learn and have fun.
Would you shop there?

For pre-revenue startups being sold on Borderline
The math is this:
- For every week of build time, you can charge up to $1500
- Based on average European engineering salaries of $70k/yr
- Assuming the build is high quality and it's a high productivity week of work

You really feel the quality when using the service!
I think this will become THE solution everyone uses.
Maybe $10+ million revenue business, because the alternatives suck in various ways, and ppl will flock.

True, but there are non-VC freemium businesses that do great.
The free users subsidize the marketing, word of mouth & customer acquisition.
Most of your success can be attributed to people who haven't paid you yet. Brand is more than just transactional.

Over the last few weeks, I helped 2 clients take their ideas from prototype to code.
Now I’m taking on my next MVP build.
Minimum bid is $500/-.
With a bid increment of $500/-
I’ll take on the best bid in a few days and make it real.
Want your idea built? DM me today!

One side said something you're claiming is genocide.
The otherside killed thousands of civilian families, committed genocide, and are calling it self defense.
Are you naive, intellectually dishonest or just a genocide supporter?

Loom got acquired for $1b.
I wonder what the revenue multiple was.. does anyone know?
A HN commenter said they were valuing each user at $40. Seems a bit high, considering most are probably inactive.

I always thought was not a valuable platform and considered it a side-project.
But when
@DmytroKrasun
and
@s_chiriac
sold their startups, they were grateful for the buyers they found on Borderline and voluntarily sent me a success fee.
This made me…
used to be a free platform, but moving forward I’m making some changes to my pricing.
Free, as you’ve guessed is not sustainable. Yes, I could probably keep running the platform but I can’t continue to improve it or spend time and efforts marketing it to…

Quite. I’ve been making websites, writing code and running businesses for 17 years.
I first learned how to make a website in my “computer lab” class. My friend showed me his website and practically blew my mind.
Kids can make websites? I spent the next 6 months…
