Which Product am I building? 🤔 I build a Notification Center, to embed in all web or mobile SaaS applications that require sending notifications to their users for better engagement. 💬💻 Why do I choose to build a Notification center Product: market, competitors, proof? 🤔💡 1. Notification Market 📈💰 The notification market value is 10B in 2022. 20% growth is expected between 2023 and 2030. Software and services are 30% of the market. 💼💸 Source: grandviewresearch.com/indust…. The market is mainly built around push notification, mobile notification center, and incentive notifications to pop up to website visitors' incentive offers. My project (still without name) focuses on a next segment: notifications to and from signed-up users only. This new segment is a risk because potentially need could not exists. I have already needed it as CTO in 2 companies, and it was clearly a pain. Product owner, UX, and dev had no easy solution. Both times we ended with poor designed and poor featured notification solution with no full preference notification system and RGPD support. I was ready to pay 100/month if I found a solution that solved this mess. 💡💰💻 There are 30,000 SaaS companies in the world. 1,500 in France (interesting to look at my country). 🌎🇫🇷 2. Competitors 🆚 All products that help with activation, retention, and referral are competitors. Lots of products here. 🤝👥 3. Proof ✔️ I was very interested to discover that LinkedIn Growth is largely based on Notification. I share the screenshot but you can read more directly in the LinkedIn SlideShare. All their growth is explained. Ask in comments if you want the SlideShare link. 📈💼👀 4. Next steps! 👉🏽🚀 Still have to define clear features, validate idea and achieve Product Market Fit!" 💪🏽💡 #NotificationCenter #SaaS #ProductMarketFit #NotificationMarket #Competitors #UserEngagement #CTO #RGPD #LinkedInGrowth #Activation #Retention #Referral #ProductDevelopment #StartupJourney 🚀 #buildinpublic

Startup success is mainly about probability. Your first project could be a success. But statistically, it’s next to impossible to create 30 projects and fail all of them. Why ? 1. Because you learn during the process 2. You finally find a real problem to solve that resonate with market. And when you find it’s far more easy to succeed. So, Keep going 🔥🔥🔥 #buildinpublic

Notifizz is now a team of 3. 👏 We are still a bootstrapped product. 💪 We still have the same product vision and traction. 🥅 But clearly the vision and the market were too broad for me alone. So I had the choice to stay and do something small. Or work with a team and try to achieve a larger vision. Indie hacking should not only be about bootstrapping products alone. It’s about bootstrapping. As a team, we will stay: - Focus on delivering - Focus on doing instead of speaking - Focus on getting traction first - Focus on lead and customer satisfaction 👦@TakaashiKun0 is the first member of the team. He is an engineer like myself with strong technical skills. He also built a 200k user product in the past, targeting gamers (you can find the link in his bio). 👧@Marie_Innove is the second member of the team. She is an experienced market and sales person and will manage leads sales and inbound outbound marketing stuff. Her experience growing SAAS business is key for our success. Now we start the next step of Notifizz adventure 🚀 #buildinpublic

During years - every startup was VC funded - a team of one was considered an error - bootstrapping sounded quite impossible Now, it's going fast in the opposite direction. - VC funding is seen as an error - The best way is to stay a solopreneur - Products have to be shipped in days, It's very hard to resist this kind of extreme mass trend for a first-time entrepreneur. I also recently spoke to 5 investors for Notifizz. All had very strong ideas about what I should do now. Five people, five different points of view. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬.

As I mentioned in my previous tweets, VC fundraising and indie hacking should not be seen as two opposite worlds. The time is going to blur distinction between them. VC are a powerful tool for success. #buildinpublic
You can buy a startup on Acquire and many others, but it’s hard to invest in one on here. Especially with indie hackers. We have some absolute superstars in our community that you’d want to back. WE know they’ll win. That they’ll succeed. What are they missing? Perhaps an investor could help them scale. I’m about to take on a monumental task of creating the number one platform to do that with @IndieRaising The platform is only going to seek bootstrapper-friendly VCs and angels. Obviously the platform will make the most if we approve every investor. We WON’T. It has to be about the founder and not the investor. Investors will make money but through profit and not just an exit. The focus is on PROFIT. Get customers to pay you more than you spend on expenses. I’m making this for my community. It’s not a charity, I know, but my aim is to help and not hinder. We are only regulated to connect indie hackers with investors so it’s out of our hands what happens after that but we can do the initial screening. Profit > exit Founder control > small print I’m determined and have the perseverance to see it through. I know I can fail but I’m not phased. All I can ask is that you support me in this venture. If you believe in even ONE solopreneur that you know, I’m here to grow their business and change their life. For those who think an investor can help you scale, please submit your startup.

𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐬 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐧𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬. 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐚𝐬 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐬! Yesterday, I shared a tweet with general advice about asking for feedback. Whether you're closing a discussion, selling your product, giving a demo, etc., asking for feedback is crucial. However, in response to that tweet, two people are now asking me for feedback. But why? That was just a thought that I shared after a meeting with @NilGambit. I’m not offering my services to provide feedback on your product. Moreover, I often propose product feedback sessions. You post your product, and I provide honest feedback. I try to do this once a month. I generally spend more than 4 hours trying to help people by answering. These 4 hours are most of the time a net worth. I just sometimes get a thank you or a like. I love this community, but there are things that are not working at all from a relational perspective. What's the point of asking for feedback from random people without even reading other responses, especially when the first response is from a tool designed to gather feedback by @mehdi_khoudali? The X #buildinpublic community seems to have too many people solely focused on themselves, trying to gain users, feedback, and followers without any authenticity. And this is not just about two people on a tweet, this is a general fact. So my message is simple: If you want to receive, start by giving. And do so in a coherent context and without waiting for something back. Learn to take pleasure in sharing. And yes, as soon as I post, some bots will like the post as always. They call these bots marketing strategies, but I call them inhumanity. They pretend to be interested in people's posts without even reading them. And I'm not saying I'm perfect. But at least my account is authentic, manually crafted, and I'm not randomly asking for feedback or pushing my project everywhere. Stop treating people as mere numbers or followers. See them as people. Just my daily thought 🤣. Yes, I probably ate lion this morning.
Never forget to ask feedback to other people. If you don’t ask, you don’t obtain. #buildinpublic

Do you ever fear as a solopreneur that you won't deliver fast enough? 😱 I do. Sometimes, I feel overwhelmed by the multitude of tasks as a solo founder. 🙁 Solopreneurship is no walk in the park. In the past, I managed a company with 80+ people, which seems easier to me now than solopreneurship. 😮 Now, I try to streamline tasks to the minimum, yet I still struggle to understand how some of you launch so quickly. 🚝 Perhaps my project isn't suited for a fast launch as a solopreneur. Too many complex elements. ⚙️ Let's keep pushing forward! 🔥 #buildinpublic

Do what others do is not enough to success. Because… Success is also a part of luck and you can’t reproduce the luck. So how to solve that ? Luck is about probability. Ship lot of projects and you’ll kill all probabilities. Luck will be inevitable.
