If you’re new, operating in a highly competitive space, with no technically advantaged offering…you set entry level pricing LOW.

Raise prices later, when you get some traction. But, even then be mindful you don’t cross over into over charging territory

Yes, I missed the mark on that one

All the best 👍

In such situations I like to overload people with information, 99% is useless, I add 1% to make it sound real. But, it’s not for everyone, but give it a go.

Here’s an example, “whose your supplier” “Oh man, where do I start, I have so many. So, the X figures I have 8 in UK, but they’re constantly trying to rip me off & the shipping alone is killing me. I have 3-4 in China, they are competitive, but they tend to delay shipments without notice & the worst part is their customer service. The ones I liked were from Japan, great product, great people, a little pricey but the problem with them is the language. It’s caused so many confusions I can’t even list them all. Anyways, hope that useful, need to run”

All this time your real suppliers are in the US.

So, you could take the time to say all this, or just say sorry mate that’s confidential info.

If there’s a university near by visit the CS section, talk to some professors, ask them if any recently graduated students or current ones would be interested to build this for you, against little to no pay, but 1-2% equity in the business. You could also leave a post on one of the community boards, ask around if anyone’s friends/family is becoming or is a programmer. Lastly, build a pitch deck & just like you raise for funds, you showcase it to get your first developer onboard.

Yeah that sounds like traction. So what is that you’re looking for; someone to help you scale, someone to help streamline your operations, someone to help you raise etc.

A little more info would be great. Since we all probably define “enough traction” differently. So more details would be nice

Nice idea…will DM
