Anybody wants to be rich?

Not for startup founders.

Yangi loyiha boshlayotgan asoschilarning juda ko'pchiligi mahsulot yoki xizmatini tekinga berish bilan boshlashni xohlashadi.

Men tushunmiman nima uchun shunaqa xohish bor. Yo'q, aslida ozroq tushunar ekanman.

Ularning fikricha shu usul orqali ular mijoz va foydalanuvchilarni o'rgatib olib keyin pul olishni boshlashadi.
Agar sizda pul ko'p bo'lsa ehtimol bu usul ishlaydi. Fremium va free trial modellari katta kompaniyalarga yarashadi chunki ularda resurs bor.

Mening fikrimcha siz birinchi 10, 20 va 50ta mijozga birinchi kundan sotishga harakat qilishingiz kerak.
Ularga kerak yoki kerak emasligini shunda bilasiz.
Agar ishlasa keyin yana fremium modelini qo'llash haqida o'ylab ko'rsangiz bo'ladi.

"Product market fit" ga tez kelish imkoniyatingiz oshadi.

Top 10 startup lies 👇

1) "We made a revolutionary AI technology" → we are using an OpenAI API

2) "We grew 200% last month" → we had 3 users, now we have 9

3) "We have a disruptive business model" → we haven’t earned a single dollar

4) "We’re expanding globally" → someone from India signed up once

5) "We’re in stealth mode” → we don’t have any product

6) "We have the best engineering team" → we hired tech students to help us for free

7) "Our unit economics is extremely positive" → well, maybe in 10 years

8) "We’re seeing incredible inbound interest" → one random guy liked our LinkedIn post

9) "We have a strong company culture" → we occasionally order pizza to the office

10) "We’ve validated product-market fit" → three users didn’t cancel immediately

I’m NOT a fan of startup battles and pitch competitions — whether it’s presidential tech awards, “Shark Tank”-style shows, or even large global startup battles.

And yes, this is said with respect to the good people who organize and support these events. Most of them really want to help founders.

But I strongly disagree with the core idea.

Why should a small group of judges decide which startup is “great” and which one is “so-so”?
That decision belongs to the market. To users. To customers who are willing to pay.

For founders: stop wasting your time.
Instead of rehearsing pitches and chasing trophies, focus on selling, learning from real users, and building a real business.

Winning a pitch competition may feel good — but it’s neither a true milestone nor a signal of long-term success. No reason to be proud.

Revenue, retention, and customers are.

P.S. Demo days and acceleration programs are useful

If you will ever meet me at these kind of events, I am forced to do this:)

DON'T DIE

Juda ko'p startap boshlagan founderlar g'alaba qozonish haqida va bozorni qanday egallash bo'yicha o'ylaydilar. Bu yaxshi.

Lekin sizning asoschi sifatida birinchi vazifangiz bu tirik qolishdir. O'lim vodiysidan (death valley) chiqib olish. Har xil manbalarga asosan 90 foizdan ko'proq loyihalar o'lishadi.

Agar sizning startapingiz tirik qolsa va Product Market fitni topsa unda G'alaba qozonish va keyinchalik kengayish (Expnasion) haqida o'ylasangiz bo'ladi.

3 ta Pree-seed va Seed bosqichidagi startaplarga Product Market Fitni topishiga yordam berishga tayyorman.

Loiyhada 2ta founder va tech co-founderi bo'lishi juda muhim.
