Something I’ve been curious about lately. From my experience working with different software projects, development can become one of the biggest costs for a growing company. But not every business has raised money. Some companies are bootstrapped. Some are already making revenue. Others are still trying to get the product into the market. So I wonder how this works in the US. Do most companies wait until they raise investment before building a proper development team? Or are profitable small businesses comfortable investing in developers from their own revenue? Curious to hear from people actually running companies there. How do you usually think about this?

I’m based in Tokyo and spend most of my time around software, AI, and business. Always interesting seeing what gets built in the US. Different speed, different market, sometimes a totally different way of doing things. For people here running a company in the US, what are you working on these days? Could be SaaS, AI, e-commerce, local business, anything really.

1. Find leads Open Leads Finder (Leadsempire.ai) → find local businesses with no website. Build a list of 20–50 prospects. 2. Contact them Call the business. Tell them you noticed they don’t have a website and you’ve already put together a quick example for them. 3. Follow up This is where most people quit. No answer? Call again. Interested but busy? Follow up. Sent the website? Follow up. Use calls, texts and email. 4. Close the $500 sale Show them the site, make the changes they want and ask for the sale. 1 client = $500. Do this every day. The goal isn’t to find a magic lead — it’s to consistently contact enough businesses and follow up.

Hello everyone! I’m looking for more feedback on these designs and would love to hear your thoughts. What do you think works well, and what could be improved or done better? I know some of the designs are in Arabic, but feel free to ignore the content for now and focus purely on the design, layout, and overall visual experience. Any feedback is appreciated!
