Building product that connects to what an executive wants (& is willing to pay for 🙂 is a challenge.
Fortunately for you CS majors and developers who want to be a co-founder, I wrote up a few subroutines. Let us focus on two: #HTDWD9DWOHTHD9 and #CSmajorCRO

Sell a $600 FICO score prep program for $80. Offer 100% refund. Or a 100% rebate. U pick. Keep 100% revenue. #HTDWD9DWOHTHD9

You see, before you commercialize a technology or an innovative product, you must commercialize the technologist.

The Wright Bros made something that sold itself (an airplane). But they first sold bikes.

Wanna make your first impact as a CS major-founder?! Study the subroutine in business called #HTDWD9DWOHTHD9
|
In short, you’re selling $600 bills for $80.
In short, you copy paste #HTDWD9DWOHTHD9 when you do your startup.*
