Unpopular opinion: Your startup tech doesn't need to be fancy.
In our early years, we used a Google sheet to run our freelance marketplace & generated $100,000 revenue.
Even now, at $2 million revenue, our marketing website runs on a no-code builder that costs us $10/mo.

Build tech to solve a business problem.
If I am building an Uber for X, I won't start by building an app right away.
Instead, I will just use 2 simple forms (@typeform) & @airtable to run my business.
I'll focus on generating revenue instead of building complex tech.

Don't reinvent the wheel.
When you build an app, use robust, out-of-the-box solutions.
Building things from scratch is expensive & stressful.
Uber can do it because they have 100s of engineers. You need to delegate as much as possible to existing solutions.

Build only that's most essential.
Uber has 1000s of workflows & services. But they need it to support millions of users.
When you reach that scale, build even more complex tech by all means.
For now, build only that's most essential & core to your business.
