Tell HN: The January Entrepreneur Challenge
Build a business or product that is profitable by the end of January 2020
This is a sprint not a marathon. A fun challenge to do together, not something to take super seriously
Rules:
- has to be truly profitable, no matter how small of a profit. You can’t spend $100 on ads and call your $5 return a profit
- No just convincing your friends and family to buy. Has to be strangers as customers
- it can be something you’ve thought of before, but not something you’ve already started building
- Don’t get upset if someone copies your idea. This is for fun, not to become the next Facebook/Uber/Netflix
- At the end of January post what you worked on and how it turned out. Failure is always an option
