Solo founders should decide whether to work on one vs multiple products based on how risky their business is. Many products have significant dependency on one platform, or are actually features that big tech companies could add at any moment. In these cases it would make a lot of sense to work on different projects, accept that they will grow slower, but diversify income streams. But if it’s something in a relatively boring and stable niche it probably makes more sense to focus all-in on a single product.

From idea to #release in under 10 mins! One of the universally common attributes of a start up is product churn. We're constantly talking to our customers and learning from them. Every recommendation is meticulously vetted in context of long term and short term business goals and a lot of them make it in as product features. And there's also bugs which have to be addressed as soon as possible. In sum, startups need to release fast. At Hyresynth, an idea can make it into a release in under 10 minutes. A client needed inventory management added to our list of roles. From engineering a prompt for inventory management to the feature being available to select on the frontend it took us less than minutes. Our CI/CD uses #github #actions to power this magic. Talk to us to learn more about automations, we're always on the lookout for great #engineering and #design talents.

Growth teams always have a lot of experiments that they want to conduct, but there's never enough engineering capacity to do them all at the desired pace. This is something I've seen consistently in my career. No matter whether it is a small or a billion-dollar startup. Your company's growth is directly tied to the number of experiments you can run. When there's not enough capacity, the speed at which you can experiment slows down, impacting the overall growth rate. We're here to help you address this challenge through our network of experienced developers. Ping me or check out Remotebase.com. Let's have a conversation about how we and our clients have tackled this issue by collaborating with Remotebase developers. #growth #growthmarketing #experimentation #growthstrategy

I once set an AE up on a demo with a "fish company" The company literally sold fish 🐟 It was while I was working at Vettery (tech hiring marketplace) & we were selling to tech companies that were hiring software engineers ..so you can imagine this AE's delight when they saw this demo pop up on their calendar Luckily for me this AE was a friend of mine (Hi Steve Motuza 👋) and although his first reaction was 🙄⛔️🙅🏻♂️, he agreed to do me a solid and take the call In fairness to Steve, all of our clients were trendy SaaS companies & tech startups that just raised millions in funding In fairness to me, they did have a CTO that told me they were going to be hiring soon So how did it end? They signed!! 🎉 & ended up renewing for *multiple* years 💰💰💰 Turns out they were struggling to attract good tech talent (much more so than the hot startups were) So, what's the moral of this story? There are probably a few takeaways here but: 1. Be like Steve and do your marketing team a solid every now and then :) & 2. Don't be rigid on your ICP looking a certain way, it's important to be targeted but don't forget to look at your data (!!) so you can see when new or surprising industries and personas are starting to convert. Being able to identify these trends gives you the ability to capitalize on them - it can illuminate a new segment to go after & help you ensure you're.. (apologies in advance) ..Fishing where the fish are 🎣 #sorrynotsorry #Ihadto #startup #ICP #TAM #marketing #sales Need help getting this kind of reporting & analyses? DM me! :)

tl;dr I'm looking to connect with experienced #softwaredevelopers looking to build SaaS products that solve meaningful problems, and looking at coming in at the ground floor as technical co-founders or founding engineers! Most teams are based in US or Canada. I spent the past few weeks talking to Forum Ventures B2B SaaS Founders that are experienced operators with firsthand experience in the industries and pain points they're solving. They're people I wouldn't hesitate to work with because they are: ✅ Smart and resourceful ✅ Curious and humble ✅ Have a right to win Joining an early-stage startup means you're building the plane while flying it, these qualities in the Founders and founding team make the journey 10x better. Tech stack? Most companies are working with some of the following: #python #typescript #ruby #JavaScript #React #AWS #AI ⬇️ Apply below! #techjobs #startups #b2bsaas #softwarejobs

In the fast-paced tech world, it's easy to get caught up in the allure of the latest and shiniest technologies. However, being cautious with your tech-stack choices can save you from potential disasters down the road. Here are some key engineering mistakes to steer clear of: Opting for Untested Tech-stack: Startups often rush to adopt the latest technology to appear cutting-edge. However, relying solely on hype technology can be disastrous as it may have unaddressed downsides and lack essential libraries. This leads to more time spent on coding from scratch rather than building a reliable product. Recruiting Wrong Engineers: Startups must hire engineers with a can-do attitude, agile mindset, and ability to handle challenges. Recruiting engineers from corporate backgrounds may not be suitable for the fast-paced startup environment, where quick iterations are crucial. Unnecessary Scaling: Spending too much on product development without testing the market's response can lead to financial crises. Premature scaling with unnecessary features may result in a negative or average user response, causing startups to fail. Increasing Technical Debt: Taking shortcuts and compromising on code quality for quick delivery results in technical debt. While small technical debts may be manageable, a growing startup must address increasing technical debt to avoid a slower release cycle and code complexity.

Big Tech Ditched Trust and Safety. Now Startups Are Selling It Back As a Service: The burgeoning trust and safety industry promises to help tech companies navigate scrutiny and regulation. But these services bring problems of their own. #ArtificialIntelligence #MachineLearning #DataScience

There's a post on the ideal software team going viral that is exactly wrong. It's the *exact opposite* of the advice I hear from top engineering leaders like Carta's CTO. Instead of a team of specialist (like the viral post), they advocate for teams of generalists. Full stack. The only real reason to specialize is to gain a recruiting advantage when you absolutely must. Some candidates will only join as specialists. Otherwise, specializing makes your teams less flexible. You generate more waste. Startup engineering leaders coming from big tech often learn this lesson the hard way. They cargo cult over the specialization that works in a mature organization. Then, they find themselves with hands tied whenever the composition of their team doesn't match the composition of work. In startups, flexibility is king! Stay full stack as long as you can
