My Startup Failed in 28 months by elefind(m): 3:07pm On Oct 20, 2019 |
Good day Nairalanders, I know how we all talk about startups, how to play safe and not to avoid failing. My 28 Months startup failed before going public, it's not been easy for me because I have invested so much on this very startup, so much time and energy has been put into the project to bring it to reality. I failed on this very startup project all resources gone I'm back to square one trying to stand on my feet again I can't face friends and family anymore. |

MountainView:You only asserted my point. His inexperience cost him. How can he try to build a SM from scratch for something that Facebook could easily create a module or plugin for in 48 hours? |

CodeTemplar:We are all saying the same thing, then |

CodeTemplar:There is nothing new under the sun, the world research and improve on old or existing ideas. nothing really too special or totally new, the niche can do more better. I've learnt a good lesson that I failed at something I learned the experience, the risk and also the shame. But it's a good thing to try your best at somet hing which I did. And for those badmouthing me I'm not surprised at all "A Nigerian will always be a Nigerian" that negative mindset towards your fellow, jumping to conclusions when you don't even know the full story. we only celebrate those that flaunt cars and other expensive stuff, if it were to be huspupy I know you will be making prayer point like "Baba God locate me". what if the startup become successful? what if it becomes the next big thing in Africa? every man falls but when you fall you stand up. 7 Likes 1 Share |

elefind: It's not like that Bro, nobody is badmouthing you, it's just that, Technology is changing and it's moving towards AI and automation. The dotcom bubble is no more, if you were around during the dotcom bubble in a Western world, with your idea, you might be the Mark Zuckerberg we all admire today, who knows? What I have to say to you, its quite simple. Now, you've gained an experience, that's for sure, use that experience to your own advantage. Build something people wants and needs Turn that into a very marketable product. Don't invest your own money, if you know you don't have enough. Read my lips, Don't invest your own money Investors would eventually come,once they notice you're solving a problem. The key is solve a problem, people would pay you for it. All the Tech Billionaires you know, are all solving a problem, don't you think so? And just in case you don't know, they are all moving toward Automation, try and learn and improve, God willing an idea will come to you, that will change many lives. Which will in-turn make you money. Just learn from your mistake. Success doesn't come to those who fall and remain on the floor, it comes to those who never stop trying and getting up to their feet. My 2 cents, though 6 Likes |

MountainView:Best advice so far. I was privileged to speak with the CEO of Jobberman, and she told me the exact same thing. |
