Hi HNers,I am the founder of LiNote and we have reached Product-Market Fit. Up to that point, everytime I felt lost about the next step for my company, I found some valuable resources online from smart folks who have been there before. The ones from YC often being the most insightful.Now than we reached PMF, resources are almost non-existent. I found two good books ("the great ceo within" and...

Then scaling with PMF is okish. Scaling without is complicated as things doesnt stack up
My first impression is you have to talk to customers more and use face to face interviews. There is already a market for this kind of product so the issue might be: - bad targeting. Are you sure you talk to the right people? Who buy this kind of product ? Is the same people buying the product than the one using it ? - low reach. Conversions can be rare. Have you reached enough people ? - messaging. Do people really value your differenciation ? Do they understand your message? - price. Is it too expansive ? Not expansive enough to be credible - bad channel. How does the other company sell their product ? B2B sales ?
It seems to be you rely extensively on digital marketing to "talk" with prospects. Most of the time, one face to face can bring 10 times more info quickly.
I would also suggest to read the "Test Mom". You may have done customers interview the wrong way
I hope this help and wish you good luck

My company just got break even so I live with the minimum wage possible but it's growing at a good pace.

Hi HNers,I am a solo startup founder from a small french town.There is no unicorns here so noone has a real experience on being part of this kind of companies.Most mentors here either built profitable SMEs, managed big companies they haven't founded or are people with an MBA.Most advises I get are contradictory to what I read from more "reputable" startup writer as PG.Any idea how to get a...

Hi Hners,I work on a French hardware startup called Relink. I would like to speed things up and I feel having a mentor would be a great boost. I am part of my local startup community but that's quite small here as I am not in Paris and nobody has a 'successful' hardware startup. Anyone know how to find someone willing to be part of an advisory board?
You want to learn coding, I (or s.o else on HN) can teach you. What would you pay for it? Anything but money.
Hi Hners,I've been working on many startup ideas full-time for 14 months now. I've learned a lot during the process, I failed a lot too. I am now working on a great idea (all of them was but this one is greater ;) ) and I would really like to make that one a success. This one deserve it as it would really help people. The idea is about creating a passive internet (no input required) so people...
and lot's of other ones.
An idea is always stupid. Few iteration later, it starts to be not that bad.
