You are never late to start a business or a startup or something that impacts millions of people.

Here are 5 people who made it irrespective of their age and when they started.

1. Robert Noyce co-founded @intel at the age of 41.

The Man Behind the Microchip is the reason for the innovation that revolutionized computer technology and forms the foundation of the machines we still use today.

PS: Intel is reportedly valued at $225.76B.
2. @reidhoffman founded LinkedIn at the age of 35.

He created the world's premier platform for career networking but before he worked at Apple, founded another social platform - SocialNet which struggled with traction and failed.

PS: He sold LI to Microsoft for a whopping $26B.

New logo announcement 🚨

@curtisjcummings and I are thrilled to reveal @shoutoutso_'s new logo today 😍

A little back story 👇🏽
We wanted to keep social proof as a theme in mind as we believe amplifying customers' voices, celebrating them, and building trust is what Shoutout is all about 💯

And we couldn't find a better way to express it as a logo than the megaphone 📣
A few days ago, I put a bat signal looking for logo designers and found incredible people.



Picking one among such talent was hard but we went with @SashaDoesDesign

We absolutely loved his iteration process and the whole communication went through DMs

No-code played a huge role in the last 3yrs of my maker journey, and along the way, I learned so many things apart from building products.

Here are some side effects you get when you build using no-code

1/ Learn how to design user flows:

Before building, you got to think about the workflow of your product from a user's perspective. This exercise helps you think about the UX and how you can focus on making frictionless experiences.
2/ Learn how to prioritize and scope your product:

Everyone wants to build the next big thing, but it all starts when you focus on what's important to your user and how fast can you build features.

Scoping and descoping will become a habit once you start using no-code.

As I'm preparing to join @ProductHunt, I studied many community builders and founders. Here are some tactics and lessons I learned 👇

A thread 🧵
1/ Build a give-first and value-first mindset:

The fundamentals of community building are tied to principles of giving what you have and sharing what you know(value). Ask yourself what you can offer and wholeheartedly put it out so others can benefit from it.
2/ Play infinite games:

Community building is an infinite game to play with long-term players. It is not a game to play to win. It is a pie that everyone can share and should be played to benefit each other.

Build that level of culture that drives communities to last longer.
