Day 2 Reflections Understanding the market and knowing your target audience takes time and honestly, it's stressful. But it's important. The churn rate for habit apps is insane. 97% of people stop using them within 30 days. That's where we come in. By understanding our users

Day 3 - Lots of work to get done

Being a university student is the best time to build a startup Google Gemini Pro - FREE Figma Pro - FREE Google Workspace - FREE Video & Audio equipment - FREE No better time to change the world.

90% of startups fail. Only 1 in 10 make it. Building a startup requires sheer faith and relentless determination

Most startups fail because they build in a bubble. They assume they understand their user's problem and pain points. When in reality, they don't. They fail at launch. That's why today, Day 4, we're talking to our target audience. Asking questions and challenging our assumptions.

We don't want our users to just stop smoking. The psychology framework for our app is simple: "Replace, don't stop." We want our users to meaningfully reflect on what psychological need their bad habits fill. And then, replace them with healthy ones.

Your MVP is too complex. I get it. Scope creep is real. But your app's first version doesn't need a dark mode. It doesn't need a social login button. It doesn't need sleek animations. It just needs to solve the problem in the most stupidly simple way possible.

There's a reason some of the most famous startups began in basements. You aren't Google. You don't need fancy productivity frameworks. The less meetings the better. Focus on making the product the best solution to your user's problem. That's it. Do things that don't scale.

We are entering into one of the most competitive app niches (Habit management). The top 5 players - 45% Market Share The top 10 players - 65% Market Share We believe we can disrupt the market!

67% of habit management app users say they want better accountability systems. That's our unique advantage!

We are speaking to potential users today. Not because it's easy, but because that's the ethos and philosophy of our startup. The user always comes first.

I'm not just building in public. I'm literally building IN PUBLIC.

Being small is one of the greatest advantages a startup can have. You can do in 30 days what million-dollar companies would take months to do. That's what we're doing!
