In this video, we dive into the incredible journey of a non-technical founder who, against all odds, blew up a swim app and garnered an audience of more than 2 million. From humble beginnings, challenges, and an unyielding passion - hear the captivating story of how an idea took the app world by storm.
Dive deep into how Co-Founder Fares started from scratch, validated ideas, encountered challenges like the pandemic, and scaled the success ladder.
We look at a non-tech founder's success blueprint as well as the strategy of narrowing down from 4 core ideas to just 1 and the importance and role of MVP (Minimum Viable Product). As ever there are missteps and roadblocks - and we talk about the art of overcoming them.

Another banger. Alot of what YC preaches is distilled in this one video. Ideation, proving the concept, iteration, product market fit, teething problems, growth, go-to-market strategy, recovering from crisis, the pivot, discovering unfair competitive advantage (natural content creator, building an audience).

@RawStartup 10 месяцев назад

Thanks! Yes I think we are very aligned when it comes to that.

Very inspirational. In my humble opinion, one of the reasons why projects like this one succeed, is because it's happening in America. I have my doubts about such idea growing in Europe. I'm building two apps far from any relevant startup ecosystem and I know it's going to take a toll.

@RawStartup 10 месяцев назад

It is certainly harder with no ecosystem, but having lived on both sides of the Atlantic I believe this could have been done in a lot of cities in Europe too.

Hello Heini, I hope your having a great day today. I’m a small farmer from Northern California , and in a world where everything is digital and focused on technology , I’m finding it hard to locate investors related to my industry. I’m really only looking for something in the range of 50K, as I want to start my own small organic farm instead of working at one. On paper the profit margins are fantastic, but I don’t have a way to translate that into an actual business, so I feel like it would make sense for an investor, I just don’t know who to approach, as a software focused investor has no interest in my industry. How can I find investors in my community , as farmers don’t generally want more competition.

@RawStartup 9 месяцев назад

I'm afraid this is a little outside what I know anything about. Generally I would say find some people that are local and made their money in that industry.

The video provides many helpful insights and I thank you for that, but it skips over how he went from the Photoshop mock up to a working MVP app. Did he hire someone else or did he learn to do it himself? I've goofed around with the Android and iOS SDKs and even though I have a lot of experience coding in C and other languages, I was quickly discouraged by all the hurdles standing between an idea, and turning it onto an the app in the app store. I haven't seen your other videos about apps yet so I'll watch those now.

@RawStartup 9 месяцев назад

Thanks, appreciate it, yes we should probably have given that part a bit more space!

@AdrianaQ9 10 месяцев назад

Great video! He said, before launching the app they tested four ideas and that's not clear to me, did he use the landing page to test the options? I mean, how do you test an mvp / app before put it out there? Do you have videos about it? Thanks!

@RawStartup 10 месяцев назад

Thanks, I don't have a video about that just yet, but maybe I should do one. I think he found the people that enganged with the landing page then asked them what do you find most interesting? Probably showing some mockups.

@djryanashton 4 месяца назад

You said “yes” to 7 weeks building an app “7 months - maybe”. I took almost a year to build my app. Just released in. Do you think that’s way too long? Even though I had never coded before? I was learning and building at the same time.

@Skyx-dn1op 10 месяцев назад

Excellent! and motivational video. What's better, to launch a really basic app with room for improvement or to never launch an excellent app? Thanks.

@RawStartup 10 месяцев назад

Always MVP always launch the very basic app first. Then build from there.

@303experience 9 месяцев назад

Could you ask him how he got 200 people to visit his landing page? Where did he find those 200?

@RawStartup 9 месяцев назад

Yes I've asked him, let's see if comes here and comments. Meanwhile check this video on that subject! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KYtkyOpjXFw.html

Hey what do you think about domain name. I’m ready to start creating my app LLC is made, found the person to make it etc. but domain name is taken. Should i proceed ? And worry about in the future once I get investors ? Or should I take care of it before hand.

@RawStartup 10 месяцев назад

Hard answer to give, I would say it depends. You should also consider finding a new name. You might never get that domain and then it becomes a hassle.

@kiro1107 9 месяцев назад

How he has 2 million downloads when he have 100K in Andorid and 3.8K rating in App store?

@RawStartup 9 месяцев назад

He has more than 100k on Android, that is what it means. He is obviously much bigger on IOS due to the Apple watch and Apple has pushed the like being App of the year. 2 million makes good sense.

@itsanishjain 9 месяцев назад

@@RawStartup yeah apple makes it's really hard to know anything about app lol.

@EskiMoThor 10 месяцев назад

It all sounds good to me, except that one little detail about talking to people. I want to make an app that makes me rich enough to not having to talk to people. Ever again.

@RawStartup 10 месяцев назад

Ok wow, I guess we all have different goals...

@EskiMoThor 10 месяцев назад

Yes we do, but I am of course joking, though having worked years in technical support, on the phone in the early 2000s, there were times dealing with people's technical problems made me dream of living off the grid, on a remote island.
