  • Hello! I’m not sure if my comment is the right one, but it’s just my opinion. I think it’s important that when you encounter a real problem, you try to create a creative or innovative solution. Eventually, in the process, you’ll see if it’s something you’re passionate about or not, and in the midst of it, you’ll discover new problems that you could solve. I believe it’s very important to do in order to learn in the process, regardless of whether you succeed or not in your project. Best of luck, greetings!


  • Hello! First and foremost, best of luck with your new project!

    This is simply what I think I would do in your position:

    1. I would consider who my target audience is. I believe it could be the young partygoer demographic. Currently, it’s a growing industry among the younger crowd, and I think it could be a good niche to target initially.

    2. Once you identify your ideal customer or target audience, I think it would be good to get some feedback. I would produce 100 or 200 cans (the more, the better) and go out to offer a free can in exchange for them answering some simple questions such as: What score would you give it on a scale of 1 to 10? How likely would you be to buy this product? I would also include a space for free-form feedback, asking if they would change anything about the product.

    I also believe that your price will be a determining factor, as canned beers and other beverages will be your direct competitors. I think the price should be in line with your competitors’ prices.

    This is just a simple opinion; I hope some of this is helpful! When you have your designs ready, upload them, and we will gladly give you our opinion!

    Hello friends! I find myself in a very similar position. I’m developing a B2B SaaS without any programming knowledge. I can share my experience and what I’ve learned so far. I hope it helps.

    I had an idea in my head but knew absolutely nothing about programming. A friend introduced me to a programmer, I shared my idea, he provided a budget, I accepted, and we started working as a team. We had meetings every 2 or 3 days, constantly adjusting everything because I had a clear idea in my head. After months of work, I encountered a huge problem. The implementation was very complex and impractical, hindering the sales process. This happened because the programming language used was very outdated, Visual FoxPro for those familiar with it. Since I knew nothing, I didn’t consider the language used to program the software, relying on the programmer.

    Now, I’m starting to assemble a small team to redo the software as a web application.

    What did I learn?:

    Seek PROFESSIONAL advice before starting.

    If you have resources, you can look for a technology consulting firm to help with this. If not, you can post here or in programming groups on Facebook, Reddit, or discussion forums. Post in various places and consider multiple options. There are many people willing to help, and believe me, thorough research will save you time, money, and headaches. You can also hire a programmer through freelancing platforms like Upwork for a one-hour video call to clarify all your doubts; this costs no more than $35.

    Once you have a clearer vision, you have different options:

    Assemble a team of freelancers to develop the project and pay for their work.

    Find a co-founder and give them a share of your project. Often, it’s a 50-50 split.

    Hire an employee with a minimum salary and a small percentage of the company.

    This is what I’ve learned on my small journey, and I hope it’s very useful to you.

    Best of luck!
