I launched Knolly Alpha on 11/11/24 and we've made our first $2,000 in revenue. Only 4 months after rebuilding the entire front and back-end after Techstars Boulder, in the Spring. Two prototypes and one Alpha since February 2024 and maybe I'm breaking a new record here to revenue and learning with founding members. I have always had a strong inclination to launch with an extremely strong end-user not only in mind but in play and having them build value with us. Knolly is no different. If you're looking to start building your private, second brain and content creation canvas, Join Knolly today. We are invitation only so join the waitlist and grab your seat when the invitation arrives. If you can't wait, direct message me and if you're a good fit I'll happily shoot you an invite. Some people will laugh at our initial revenue. But then I'll remind you that the average timespan to revenue for SaaS startups is 2 years. We are looking for exceptional and strategic channels to partner with to lift this rocket off once we get through the initial testing phase with a few hundred users. Accelerators with tons of knowledge to share. Oganizations with content-heavy sharing to members. Private schools building unique content for students of all ages. Small business owners who want to build their knowledge engine for new hires. Publishers who have thousands of content sources collecting digital dust and could be recommended directly in Knolly. These are the B2B use cases were about to start testing while we move through our initial consumer testing phase -- this is vital for UX and can't be beat by you, founders, knowledge workers, authors, content creators, and lifelong learners. Please join us as a founding member, today.

#FormBuilder #EntrepreneurLife #StartupSuccess #NoCode #FormFalcon Hey, everyone! ?? Just wanted to share some exciting news about our journey with FormFalcon.io, a no-code form builder that my partner u/toddmotto and I launched two weeks ago! It’s hard to believe that all the hard work we've put in over the last year and a half is finally paying off. Here’s what’s happened so far: ?? We’ve generated over **$10,000 in revenue** in just two weeks! ?? A number of small businesses are already using our platform for everything from customer intake to streamlining their internal workflows. ? It’s honestly mind-blowing to see our creation solving real problems for people! Of course, we’re still in the early stages of learning and improving, but the momentum we’re experiencing is both thrilling and a bit nerve-wracking. It’s incredible how a simple idea can grow and help others in such a short time! So, I’m curious: Have any of you launched a startup or a product that took o...

?? Exciting Update from EDUrain Inc. (Techstars '23) ?? We reported 10k active users in the last 12 months at Techstars Build in Tulsa Techstars Accelerator demo day in January and I am writing my monthly investor update we just changed from weekly to monthly and we are about to hit 10k active users this week for this year (we are at about 9.2k)! With 100% organic growth meaning no paid ads, just straight value prop messaging to highly engaged audiences and incorporating user feedback into our development direction on the day-to-day giving great customer service (we use various tools to get a snapshot of what our users are experiencing on our platform and we aggressively ask for feedback, because users like you make the world a better place)! Last week we ran a subleasing campaign where we saw one sublease get a verified student interest form to sublease that apartment within 30 minutes of sending out a targeted ad (that is unbelievable)! We also enrolled in the Stripe Accelerate program to give EDUrain Inc. (Techstars ‘23) advisory support from an industry leader to accelerate our pace in creating a world-class low-touch property manager self-onboarding and self-checkout experience! We also were just nominated for St. Louis Apartment Association local supplier of the year and after the interview, the interviewing team said "Man you kind of killed that, this is good"! I am going to publicly ask Drew McAllister to nominate EDUrain Inc. (Techstars ‘23) for St. Louis Business Journal Inno Madness competition and I look for every St. Louisan who sees this post to do the same here by March 8th! https://lnkd.in/genFx2Nz All rocketships, honesty, courage, an open heart, pursuit of economic freedom for the next generation, innovation, care, customer service, and overcoming fears of becoming who I am destined to be! ?? ?? ?? ?? #RetiredwhiteblazerBryon #TechstarsfounderBryon #buildinginpublic #couragefirst #givefirst #openheartfirst #studenthousing #highered #highereducation

Yesterday we wrapped up Cohort 2 of The Founders Club. A huge CONGRATULATIONS to Deepak Panda, Luke Torres and Anushk Shukla for their commitment and dedication to growth and self-learning. You guys are going to go far! Deepak Panda: From being a complete beginner to app development, to now building a dream app all by himself - You have come the farthest and I'm so incredibly proud of you. You were also the first person to apply for Cohort 2 and your determination has not wavered for the last 30 days. You were the most committed and I'm sure you will go far in life. Luke Torres: Luke joined us everyday at 6 am his time. Never gave excuses even though he was a new father. Your commitment to learning and curiosity will take you far. Not to mention every time your baby daughter made a special appearance, it made my day ????. Combining your product background with the lessons from the cohort - I have no doubt you're going to be the most dangerous, knowledgeable and equipped product guy within a 100 miles of where you live. Anushk Shukla: Joined the cohort, because he wanted to learn about the tech side of building apps. You were there everyday, learning, iterating and growing and I could see it. Anushk, you had the most interesting questions. After hearing about your APP idea + with your background - makes me incredibly bullish about your future. If you're not already following them. Do so and let them know you're curious to see what they build.

I wish I knew this one thing before starting college You can read all the DOs and DON’Ts and HOW TOs hoping to ace your college journey and some of them might help. But fundamentally, this is the ONE rule that puts most things into perspective: CHASE YOUR OWN DREAM. You’ll meet tech nerds and researchers and start-up founders and artists and competitive exam aspirants, all hustling while managing college on the side. Just about everyone will seem to be chasing down a goal. And amidst all of this, you might be tempted to chase it too — the goals of the people you meet. Because yes, a SaaS-based start-up does sound like a great idea. But great for the dude actually passionate about building it, not for me who just got to know the problem statement five minutes into some random conversation. Instead of taking up any fancy term or profession that comes my way and trying to convince myself that's what I want to do, I want to explore all that’s possible. Because hey, what’s to lose? So the SaaS startup might still be somewhere over the horizon but the plan for the next couple of years is to test out all opportunities and stick to the one I genuinely enjoy, not what I think I ‘should’ enjoy. — Liked reading?

Exciting Update from GeekSupport: I am thrilled to announce an impressive 10-20% increase in MRR over the past 14 months with a mere 3% churn rate. Achieving this milestone without external funding speaks volumes about our team's dedication, GRIND, agility and expertise. Being the first employee of a company is MUCH harder than anticipated. Long days, into nights. WEEKENDS. Very little time off. But the dividends after this consistent growth? Immeasurable. Thanks to our wonderful clients for your loyalty and trust. With anticipation for continued success, we're aiming for another 20% growth over the next 24 months. Here's to reaching new heights together! #happyfounders #techstartup #bootstrapping
