I’m 17 and all I can think about is being successful I know I can put in the work I just don’t know what to do yet and I feel like I’m wasting time I’m thinking about being a real estate agent but for now I want to know if there’s any other ways to get rich I don’t care how long it takes I just want something to work on
Been running a B2B lead gen agency for US financial companies remotely since 2018. Fund my life in Southeast Asia doing it.
Thinking about putting together a small group to teach exactly how I do it ... the traffic, the software I built to automate the backend, the whole thing. Niche is already proven, software is already built, you'd just need to find clients and point traffic at it.
Would anyone here actually want something like this? Drop a comment.
It all started with a flawed prototype I purchased — and instead of settling, I chose to redesign it from the ground up.
Over the course of a year, I developed a completely new, movie-accurate Woody voice box, focused on capturing the character’s iconic sound with precision. During that time, I pitched the concept to multiple factories across the UK, USA, and Germany, searching for a partner who truly shared my vision.
Eventually, I found the right team — and despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, I moved forward and funded the entire project myself.

This sub gets the assignment better than most so I'll be direct.
The no-code movement solved half the problem. You can build almost anything now without knowing how to code, which is genuinely incredible and wasn't true five years ago. But there's still a gap that nobody talks about. Even with the best no-code tools you still have to know which tools to pick, how to connect them, how to write copy that converts, how to set up ad accounts, how to source products, how to structure a funnel. The learning curve didn't disappear, it just moved.
Most people in this sub know exactly what I mean. You've spent a weekend deep in Zapier trying to get two things to talk to each other that should just work. You've rebuilt your Webflow site three times because the first two didn't convert. You've watched your Notion dashboard get more elaborate while the actual business stayed the same size.
That's the gap Locus Founder closes.
You describe what you want to build. The AI handles everything else. It sources products directly from AliExpress and Alibaba (or sell YOUR OWN digital services, products, or content), builds a real storefront around them, writes conversion-optimized copy, then autonomously creates and runs ads on Google, Facebook and Instagram. No Zapier. No Webflow. No piecing together eight tools that half work. Just a running business.
If you don't have an idea yet it interviews you and figures out what makes sense for your situation.
We got into YCombinator this year and we're opening 100 free beta spots this week before public launch. Free to use, you keep everything you make.
For the people in this sub specifically, this isn't a replacement for no-code tools for people who love building. It's for everyone who wanted the outcome but never wanted to become a tools expert to get there. Big difference.

I have been running LinkedIn outbound for my SaaS using spreadsheets for the past 4 months.
It started fine. Around 30 leads. Manageable.
Now I have 200 plus rows and every lead has different context that matters. When they last changed jobs. What they have been posting about. Whether they engaged with something relevant recently. Funding news, hiring signals, things like that.
The problem is not volume. The problem is that by the time I get to someone on my list, the signal I originally flagged them for is already 2 weeks old.
They posted about struggling with outbound last Tuesday. I am reaching out today. That moment is gone.
I am not looking for a CRM. I have one. I am looking for something that keeps the signals fresh and tells me when to reach out, not just who.
How are people managing this at any kind of scale? Genuinely curious if there is a smarter workflow or if everyone is just suffering through the same thing.
Hey folks,
I’m a tech founder exploring the possibility of building a B2B marketplace for India (like Udaan) and trying to understand how this ecosystem actually works on the ground.
Would love to connect with people who’ve worked closely with distributors, traders, suppliers, wholesale businesses, manufacturing, procurement, logistics, or B2B sales in India. Mainly looking for honest conversations, insights, pain points, and learning from people who’ve seen this world firsthand.
Especially curious about:
I am looking to learn and have good conversations with experienced people. That said, if we vibe well and there’s mutual interest, I’d definitely be open to exploring future collaborations too.
Also, If you’re in Bangalore, happy to grab coffee and chat in person as well :)
Would appreciate any connects or advice. Thanks!
Advice on how to make a dream come true please? I am a solo parent who, 6 years ago, was left to do it all alone. I was left with a mortgage during COVID and a little girl to raise. Prior to that, I was forced by an overbearing mother into a career I actually hate. However, it has allowed me to earn enough money to run the house and provide for my daughter. I work full time and do everything alone with no help at all.
I have been in this career I hate for many years and my health is not great, but still I carry on working full time and often cry with exhaustion. Again, I am thankful I have a job that has kept me above water.
I have always been very crafty and creative and have written a few books which I have been told are really good. I scrimped and scraped and was able to put one together and make my own website. I also have some craft items I have made which, not to sound big headed, but in comparison to other people I have seen making a business, are of good quality. I also have a unique idea I have not seen yet that would tie into this.
I believe I have a fantastic potential business and it’s the only logical way I will ever stand a chance of pulling myself out of the cycle I am in, where I earn enough, but not enough to do well.
I need to get some capital to start the business, as I need to get more copies of the book, get the other books printed, and also I actually need a computer/printer and setup for my business stuff. However, as I have said before, I earn just enough to cover bills, so I am wanting any advice on any grants that may be available, or signposting to any free services that can give advice etc.
I am not looking for sympathy, so will not go into details of my past, as I consider myself a proactive person who will keep working hard and one day it may pay off for me.
I do not have it in me to go on benefits and live off other people’s hard work (I do understand for some it is needed and that is completely fine), but I see it every day people who are just plain lazy and entitled and I will be damned if I become that. However, every day working to exhaustion in a job I loathe is slowly destroying my soul, so I want to know options that are minimal risk for somebody in my situation.
I will add that I am quite shy, so do not have dreams of posting myself all over social media (I was stalked, so this is not viable anyway) and cannot handle unsolicited messages off Pervy men in my inboxes. I have overcome this by using a pen name and I understand social media, in today’s day and age, is a necessary evil, so will use voiceovers and creative ways to promote whilst maintaining my privacy.
This is my first ever post on Reddit, so I’m not sure if I have even done this correctly. Anyway, thank you in advance for any advice. I am also in the UK.
so I've been working on this for like 2 weeks. it's called Platd. I got tired of not knowing what to cook, googling recipes only to end up on some blog that makes me scroll through someone's life story before getting to the actual recipe. so I built something better (hopefully)
you swipe left or right through recipes like tinder style, there's an AI chef you can actually talk to while you cook, and it manages your grocery list + fridge for you (fridge feature not yet added tho)
I built the whole thing myself. with no team, or no funding, just me figuring stuff out as I went.
if anyone wants to try it: https://testflight.apple.com/join/3aF8wgBY
would genuinely love to hear feedback from anyone. thanks
Most founders are guessing where their buyers hang out and wasting hours posting into dead channels.
Drop your SaaS and what it does.
I’ll use Leadline to find 5 Reddit posts where people are already asking for something related to it.
We’ve been trying to grow without massively increasing headcount bc of the tight budget. However, operations are becoming our breaking point. Every new customer, campaign, or internal process adds another layer of manual coordination.
As a result, we are constantly jumping between Slack threads, dashboards, and random docs just to figure out what’s happening. This has made us lose almost 20% of our workweek trying to search for internal information and connecting our operations. Anyone who has managed to scale their operations without hiring more people?
I'm very new to becoming a founder. I wouldn't even consider myself one yet. I feel im at the edge of a cliff and all I really need to do is jump right into making sales. I've built the product. I'm confident in what I've accomplished, I've researched from different angles for a good approach and I feel like this dance I'm in right now could go on over and over in repeat if I were to allow it too. I've been waiting for that one clear signal that lights up the path im supposed to take but I'm starting to think that's not ever going to reveal itself at this point. Any advice that would nudge me off the cliff and free falling into just making things happen would be much appreciated lol
Just launched our booking platform and looking to increase MRR
What’s best ways you seen growth?
hey there.
I'm currently in high school, and it's honestly been one of the most turbulent times of my life. from experience high school life, drastic academic changes (took ib, its been a huge reality check), and getting into things like self-improvement and business, I honestly am really confused about my life right now. but one thing's for sure. I will 100% run a business in the future, specifically something regarding ai/engineering areas as it is something I used to be passionate about and potentially my best bet for a business as doing something random will make me 10x less likely to follow through.
I do have a few huge problems though
My first business videography + editing which I started in grade 9 was a total joke. I went to around 10 businesses within 2 months, pitched to them on how I'll record and create reels for them for free. I got a total of 10 rejections, and the only real projects came from my other friends who had a real business with real clients, where I also did a mid job. My videos weren't really uploaded. Following that, I'm seeing many of my friends create their own businesses with impressive dedication, and I'm honestly kinda demotivated. For example, a couple have a marketing agency, another built an AI study app, and now made an ai which deploys web-based applications, and these guys blow my mind. They were all quite supportive and gave me opportunities to contribute or to build my own business, but I ended up feeling like I'm dragging myself to do shit and I heavily lack action/commitment. I soon came to the realization that video editing might be a good introductory experience, but it is far from my goals and results that I would like. unless I get time in the future, its just going to be a race of beginner video battling their asses off on freelancing websites. I want to offer a real service with real clients, and AI will i believe give me a really good chance at that.
the issue with me is that I compare a lot. next, i have a very limited skill base and am honestly lost with where to start. I keep on getting bs advice on "finding your passion", but due to school and how stupidly demanding ib is, I have limited time to build on anything or find what I think I can fuck with and pour my blood sweat and tears (and live with crippling debt and power through with brute force).
so honestly I'm just lost. people are too ahead. I'm burntout due to comparing too much. don't have any real skills, (I don't have the skills to manage 10 businesses nor do I know how to create a simple rock-paper-scissors program using python), and I don't have substantial knowledge in any particular sector. I can probably make time and really follow through, but I'm looking to see if anyone might've been as lost as me or took the leap of faith and invested themselves into honing a new skill which ended up being very beneficial. also mb for writing a whole fucking rant.

Hi,
In a new business market and I ended up giving quotes that were too high up to potential customers, but only found out recently that the actual prices of the service were much lower as the market was very hidden about pricing. The clients I sent prices to obviously aren't replying because I gave prices 2x higher than competitors. Do you think it's a lost cause, or can I maybe do anything to try get them back by giving an updated price somehow?
I was personally thinking of maybe saying this was a more premium price list or something but I don't actually know.
The problem is the market size for actual clients is fairly small and it's a tight-knit market, so I can't just keep on finding new leads.
Thanks.
Hey people, doing some market research here and want to hear your journey at this stage if you’ve been here.
Not just tech, can be e commerce, brick and mortar business, really just any business.
Starting to realize there’s way more to building a startup than just the product.
Curious what you guys doing when you reach this stage.
