Never work another day in your live by Achieving Founder-Product-Market Fit. Mark Twain said: Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life. And that’s sooo true. Shitty days aside haha. Some context: earlier this week I was having coffee, gathering some advice on the current state and the future of AI, and how Fitjourney can get the most out of it in the most efficient and effective way. Before we went there he casually asked: how did you get the idea for Fitjourney? While this is a good question, it’s even better to understand what I did BEFORE I had the idea. What did I do? I studied the concept of Founder-Product-Market Fit, the business brother of the Japanese Ikigai. I first stumbled upon this principle listening to Naval Ravikant’s How to get Rich - Podcast. I come back to this podcast each year, it’s jam packed with brilliant nuggets of wisdom. Highly recommended, every time new insights. Here’s the basic fundamentals of Founder-Product-Market Fit. Founder: that’s you. It’s the combination of your unique skills, knowledge, authenticity, network, etc. Doing things while applying what you learned in the past will feel like play to you, but looks like work to others. Product: you want / need it yourself and / or you see a darned good opportunity. You know how to build, market, sell it and you are excited to work on it. In my case a SaaS product, AI is new. And I don’t know how to build, but I do know a really good CTO Sergii Prykhodko Market: you are able to figure out what society needs and give it to them (which it doesn’t know it wants just yet). You are also able to figure out how to scale it, so everybody who needs a unit of your product can get one. Ideally, you find a new thing that's in the middle of the three circles achieving your own FPM-Fit. While the above concept sounds simple enough, getting the deep answers is not easy. Take your time to think, read and write to get to your core. Understanding your FPM-Fit first makes it easier to spot the real interesting opportunities when they come along, instead of writing down lists and lists of what you COULD do and starting at the first to see what sticks. Not in the market of starting a new business from the ground up? That’s fair. Then I recommend you study the Ikigai or Hedgehog concepts more in depth to find your Ikigai. In any way: life is waaaay to short to do something you don't really like, realizing somebody else's dream vision. PS I know my handwriting needs needs improvement. I'm shipping this post anyways. Hey 👋🏼! My name is Arnoud. We are building Fitjourney, a Member Engagement Platform for high-end gyms. I’m building in public. We share all the ups, downs and lessons we learn along the way on LinkedIn. No holds barred.

Hey fellow founders! Need #VC investor contacts? No need to follow or subscribe – just check out the list of 1500 contacts in the comments. Feel free to connect if you want to stay in touch and share experiences! ❤️ We all know that cold outreach to investors is one of the toughest parts of being a founder. It's draining, demotivating, and boring. You want to focus on building your startup, but end up sending endless emails and rarely hearing back. I used to dread this too, but I've learned a lot and gotten better at it. Here are three things to remember for the sake of your mental health: 1. You're offering investors an opportunity, not begging for money. 2. Don’t take rejections or silence PERSONALLY. It's tough, but true. The worst is actually getting a meeting with someone who's just using you for practice or to learn about the industry. 3. Be mindful and avoid spamming investors. Nobody likes that. #startup #founderlife #sharing #VC #investors #tech #Founder

How to Prove Your Market Is “Big Enough” to VCs? The most common reason why VCs pass on an investment is some version of “it’s not big enough.” Most really exciting companies seem “not big enough” to a lot of investors, especially really early on. These startups are often going after markets that don’t currently exist or seem like a niche opportunity (but in reality, are much bigger). “So if you’re a founder choosing to take the VC path, How Can You Counter Investors’ Objections About Market Size?” Below are some different approaches that you can use. Keep in mind that some of these are left-brain sort of approaches and others are more right-brain. Both are important and could be effective for different sorts of investors (and different sorts of founders). 1. Top Down, But Brick By Brick 2. Bottoms-Up Market Demand 3. Attaching To Mega-Trends– 4. Using Analogies 5. Scope expansion 6.
