How to start a company or business in a recession and get coaching and mentoring by a Techstars COO
– 1 min read
Creating a business without the need for an accelerator and want to try it all yourself with ideas? Starting a company is no easy task, but I have tried to put together a few essentials for anyone to get started.
1. Use the right tools
Domain - Goodaddy
Website - Webflow
Email Marketing - postr
Communication - Slack
Tasks - Asana
Logo creation - Fiverr (5USD)
2. Don't make these mistakes
Selling products for problems they haven't validated.
No real problem -
No real urgency -
No real pain Remember that pain is an indicator of purchase.
3. A few ideas:
1. Service-based business
2. Self-paced digital course
3. A paid, private community
4. A subscription email or newsletter
4. Mentoring and coaching
Sites like Founderbounty, Foundr and entrepreneur all help with that if you looking for some.
