Can you launch your startup in 1 week?
Absolutely!
Actually, you should.
I've built 14+ products and scaled one to $1,000,000 ARR
Let me teach you how to build one in a week:
Why going that fast in the first place?
Because 95% of products end nowhere.
Build more to drastically increase your chances one will skyrocket.
And here is how to do so:
What do you need to launch a startup?
1) Creatives (Logo and Branding)
2) A Website
3) The Core Product
4) Payment System
5) An Organised Workspace
6) Launch Publicity
7) Marketing
8) Feedback
Let's tackle each one👇🏽
