Got some good DMs following this. Some hard truths to share, though, especially in this AI world.
1. The only barrier to building is you; if you haven't shared a demo in your message to me, you're not ready
2. If your message is so long-winded that I need AI to summarise it, you're not ready.
3. If you don't have users and not testing with real people, why are you wasting your time and my time?
Lagos life has shown the template; just copy them.
- Ship fast,
- Get users early,
- Test business models early,
- iterate rapidly
Your DM should be
"Hi Neto here, engineer for 5 years, building AI note taking for doctors, Link here, have 5 users, paying me $10 per month."
Finish!
I have renewed excitement to build again and support builders since taking the effort to get into Claude. AI will fundamentally change entrepreneurship. If you're building anything interesting that's AI-first, do reach out. Especially in health, talent and commerce.
