19 people signed up out of the 50 available spots.
My brother Jonas contacted everyone who indicated they were open for a chat. He found that many freelance craftspeople currently have plenty of work and are not actively looking for new opportunities—so they’re not interested in this solution at the moment. This suggests it might be a slow burn. In the meantime, he’s learning a lot about their main challenges.
One person has already posted an opportunity for June. Jonas is following up to see if something comes out of it and whether it could become a first story.
You can test an idea quickly, but it takes several iterations, patience, and persistence to turn it into a business.
The goal for the coming weeks is to gather more data and insights from potential customers, in order to shape and adapt the idea and explore the best way forward.
Great way to bring your idea to life and test it as early as possible with the intention to learn. Thanks for sharing Lilly. Hope your brother's idea becomes a successful solution for other freelancers like him :-)
