2021-11-09 00:16:00 Startup's business plan for three years is always ridiculous: in a half a year it will have nothing to do with the reality.

1. We want to earn $1M in a month, the price is defined. How many clients do we need?
2. We need the defined number of clients but how many of them are in the market?
3. A client costs so-and-so much. Will we recover the expenses?
4. We need the defined team. How many clients do we need to recover?

Roughly? Yes. Quickly? Very. Honestly? Radically: absolutely clearly. Open / Comment

2021-11-08 14:00:10 Coinbase waives trading fees

The company is testing a new service that reduces its trading fees. In return, you need to sign up for a monthly subscription.

The subscription service, which is reportedly being called Coinbase One, waives the commission fee Coinbase charges for trades, but customers will still have to pay spread fees to buy or sell cryptocurrency. There’s currently no word on the cost of the subscription.

Coinbase’s interest in subscriptions could be an attempt to compete with rapidly growing competitors like Robinhood, which does not charge trading fees and already offers a subscription service of its own called Robinhood Gold.

Besides improving customer service, Coinbase One is supposed to increase the company's revenue. Open / Comment

2021-11-06 22:06:07 How to run 12 services in 12 months

A developer from the Netherlands Pieter Levels decided to launch a marathon - run 12 startups in 12 months. In his blog he told that he managed to run 8 of 12. Anyway it's a success! It would be incorrect to say that these are revolutionary services but they definitely may make our life more convenient.

Obviously not all of the ideas were striking. However a few years later two services started to generate an aggregated income of $1M per year. In general it's a nice result. So, everyone can achieve results as long as not to be lazy and try hard. And it's not even necessary to have a huge team. Open / Comment
