Countdown to 3 Startup Launches!
With the upcoming Christmas Holidays, I've already set a sporty goal. I plan on launching 3 different startups before the end of the Christmas break—enough of sitting around dreaming of something to launch. I will pull the trigger, force myself to launch, and set the countdown in motion.
My inspiration comes from Pieter Levels from Levels and Bootstrappers.io. Pieter kicked off his challenge of launching 12 Startups in 12 Months, and so far, he is doing quite well with it. I've come to like Pieter's clear way of explaining his process and his launch methods. How I build Minimum Viable Products.
What I'm Going to Launch
So, I am busy preparing minimum viable products (MVP) for each of the three products ahead of time. I've already begun validating with professionals in each segment. Although these are projects and not businesses, who knows, one might gain traction and become famous. I am spreading my launch across three MVPs in 3 different segments.
I will send a Tweet once a landing page is placed for the different pages.
InstaGP - A mashup of Instagram and Twitter for Sporting events
WebWrench - An Analytics Tool for Small Businesses
Hashtag Haters - A site tracking funny Hashtags, submitting & voting up/down HashTags
Why Launch?
So why would I launch anything? Well, it forces me to do a couple of things.
- Build an MVP
- Understand Lean Startup Processes
- Increase my exposure to the Instagram & Twitter API's
- Experience a product launch
When is the Launch?
The countdown is on. So when is the launch? I set the Launch date for January 2, 2015. It's a Friday, New Year, and an excellent time to have everything ready before people return to the first week of 2015.
