Hey Hunters! So stoked to be sharing what I have been working diligently over the past 3 months for 🎊 🎉🎁 🎈 Introducing No-VC Reports! A simple promise: Build your startup in 6 months by reading 5-min reports. A tutorial for every step of your startup journey, written succinctly. No nonsense. A. Why? As a startup founder, I have made many mistakes. Clearly, I'm not unique in that aspect - most founders make them. Yet, we see new entrepreneurs making the same old mistakes. Wouldn't it be great to have a single repository that could chronologically list all the problems they would face and share their solutions? So, I decided to use all the lessons I learnt from bootstrapping my startup to $700,000 in revenue to bring this idea to fruition. With that, No-VC Reports was born and including today I have already written 10 reports! B. Standard report structure Each report is written in simple language with a bias towards action. To ensure zero fluff a standard structure is followed: - Problem 🤕 - Solution 🕵️ - Why and when to worry about this? ⏱️ - Tools 👝 - Implementation 🔨 - Related posts 📪 C. Past reports These are the 10 reports that I have already written: 1. I want to validate my startup idea: Link 2. I want to find a co-founder: Link 3. I want to build a marketing website but don't know to code: Link 4. I want to know if I should work towards getting VC funding: Link 5. I want to build a product but have no coding skills: Link 6. I want to find users for my new startup: Link 7. I want to find my first paying customer: Link 8. I want to increase my website's traffic: Link 9. I want to find new ways of marketing my startup: Link 10. I want to understand the deal with Google Ads: Link - This one is fresh out of the oven :). Just finished writing it this morning.

Great past reports and I see some interesting upcoming ones too! This still doesn't cover 6 months :P. When will you be adding new topics?
Karthik Sridharan
Haha, you are right Iram. I wrote a bunch of topics that I had in mind which covered me till the end of this year. I will be revisiting it soon - maybe end of next month.
