What did I get done this week

Bootstrapped startup founder in late 20s

  • Deployed a ML model with 92% accuracy primarily because we have labelled data.
  • Send a renewal proposal to our highest paid customer to triple the ACV. Stressing if they might not be renewing it altogether.
  • Explored 2 new product use cases. Hypothesis holds true but some more digging is required.
  • Total 5-6 customer conversations, less IMO, should be more.
  • Raised invoices, set-up gcp, did CS all along and coded some random shit.

P.s. A non engineer grad

Personal front

  • Played badminton 3/5 days, not great IMO
  • Became a therapist to 3 friends out of which 1 cried. Still dunno why he cried, rest 1 had resigned and came straight to chat. Another one is ranting for a while now.
  • Amazing mental health. Touch wood, some random anxiety busts, super short lived and easy to navigate.

All in all, I could have done more, and I should be doing more.

A lot of misses as well.

Everything is fine but tripling the bill of your highest paying customer ?

As a person who always wanted to explore entrepreneurship in 20s, I was worried about my safety net and focused on other kinds of grind. May I know, what's your safety net?

2 years of safety net in liquid savings plus a couple of more years in non liquid.

We are also paying ourselves nominal salaries as well

I cried a lot, did a lot of overthinking, and wasn't able to do weekly tasks properly.

Crazy. What were you doing before founding your start up? As a fellow non engineer grad trying to dabble in the tech space, would love to know your bg!
