How to start a startup?
Let's say you want to start a start up like a scalar academy. How would you go about it? Will you do marketing first to bring in customers or register as a company? Start hiring people or spend on ads? Just curious to know how people start up, and what's their first step. Please share your insights, it might help someone start later on. Thanks for the input

Enough edtechs have launched without having a good product or even poc. Just as a change I would say define the problem first you are solving, then build a product where you have a proof of success at small scale. Ideally you should have a small sales/marketing teams if the product is good, unlike scaler, upgrad where >50 % people are in sales roles and leas than 10% ppl are in actual teaching/ mentoring role.

Edtech here is just a example, but i get your point š
First buy the domain name -> build the product on the domain and host it -> find bugs and tackle them -> spend on buying followers and grow it -> no need to hire many people. Just 2-3 people in the company are what you need. The more you hire the more tension you get. Also set the company in estonia / dubai youāre good to go
