    I read it as "laugh again and again". Nevertheless, it would be good idea for YC to actually talk to solo startup founder failures and the emotional rollercoaster mess that they have been through.

    I learnt What to know about launching.
    Think about launching as something you can continually do.
    Types of launches to do while on start up school.
    °silent launch
    °friends/family launch
    °strangers launch
    °online communities.
    Don't use marketing langage when talking to a community, be simple about it.
    °Request for access(viral element)
    °social media/bloggers
    °pre order campaign
    You should build your own community too
    E.g having an email list.

    1. No need months, just launch even no one cares.
    2. Why launch continously?
    - test market and see hiw user respond
    Type of Launch.
    1. Silent Launch
    - need simple website with description, contact and CTA
    2. F n Family Launch
    3. Strangers
    4. Online communities

    Just introduce company ( what are u building, for who, and why? )
    6. Pre-order campaign
    7. New feature/product
    8. Build ur own community!!!

      @MamtaNarang 5 років тому +4

      Well. I'm a writer and a founder. And I had undergone a devastating experience in 10th grade when my own friend snatched my answer sheet during mathematics exam to copy. BTW it was mass copying and my answer-sheet was roaming around the entire classroom. Having faced such experience it's hard for me to share my ideas and my stories or articles but now I do. I haven't overcome the fear fully but I do share my ideas and what I want. I trust the universe and it works out for me. Also, can you copy MJ Escher or lLeda of Leonardo Da Vinci. Never. Impossible. It's impossible to copy them.

It is hard for most people, organizations, accelerators to understand the unique challenges and the business model regulated industry is in. Good luck to whatever you are working on.

    Launching is a form of communication what you present.
    We present our thoughts to one person.
    Assesses the relevance-effect, contents, way of presentation, intents, structure etc...
    Correct it, and represent to another person.
