Building something with a team you truly enjoy is challenging, yet incredibly rewarding. I love this journey of creating something unique and personal. It's all about what you're satisfied with.

We created OHMYSYNT because we love content creation.
Our team worked on numerous ad campaigns, created content for brands, influencers, created graphics in 3D, and more.
For a long time, we recognized the need for user-friendly automatic content tools, especially for companies with lesser-known products or extensive product catalogs. Traditional marketing content production is always extremely complicated, slow, and costly for them.
Other solutions are not helpful for them because they cannot generate specific images of their products. But we wanted to provide that power to marketers, help them implement AI in their productions. That's how the idea and motivation were born, and after that, the technology and the product.
So, we basically created a tool that we dreamed about in the past! đ

I don't have my startup yet, but I know that one day I will. My goal will be to "help them to do something better, and faster". I think it'll be connected with education, or some trainings.
I currently don't have a startup, but I'm eager to launch one and create innovative solutions that empower people to enhance their lives.
For me it's a learning journey first, I understand that there are a lot of things I don't yet know, and building my own things helps me to get so much. Apart from that is the meaning, because I find much more sense and meaning in helping couples improve their communication than to provide industrial analytics insights

I decided to start a startup to unite with active and interesting people, to create something amazing together, and, of course, eventually, accidentally change the world )
If one day I do that it may because I try to help people save time to make more money. Mostly importantly I don't want to saw âleadersâ without even a bit leaderships.

I chose to build a startup due for multiple reasons: firstly, the product addressed a pressing issue I personally faced; secondly, I desired the autonomy of being my own boss; and thirdly, I was drawn to the prospect of continuous learning and personal growth. Running a business allows for a wealth of knowledge acquisition, unlike the repetitive nature of your routine 9-5.
Gives me something to work on that allows me not to feel like Iâm on an endless hamster wheel at the day job and to be able to work to going fulltime on my own project!
Saw a pain point that needed to be addressed.
Many emerging ecommerce brands are solely focused on customer acquisition and not customer retention (which is the key to building a sustainable business).
So I decided to create an agency to go after this market.
We started LegalNow (https://ai.legalnow.xyz/) because traditional legal services are: 1. Expensive, 2. Lack transparency in service offerings, 3. Incur high communication costs. So, we aim to change this in the AI era, making it easy for everyone to access high-quality legal services

No one wakes up in the morning and decides to create a startup or a product, or whatever one may call it. The need to create something arises from encountering a problem in daily life. It's evident that not everyone approaches problems with the same mindset. Some overlook them, some resolve them, and those with an entrepreneurial mindset attempt to develop solutions to facilitate the process. Certainly, generating income from a product serves as another driving force. However, not everyone is capable of achieving this, despite their desire to earn. In essence, the decision to create a startup arises from a specific problem or gap in the market and the ambition to transform the problem into a source of income.
The desire to build.
The desire to be able to change direction easily.
The desire to grow a community of people who love to learn and share.
The desire to experiment.
The desire to create something that will eventually be used by people and will make their life somehow nicer!
@gabriele_mazzola Woow great! Any resources or books you would recommend for aspiring entrepreneurs?

I had the idea to create a tool that helps small businesses grow quickly. In the early stages of development, small businesses can struggle to keep up with everything. By offering six months of free access, our tool can help small businesses focus on the right things and grow faster.
