How did I go from art school grad to tech entrepreneur? Learn more about the process of building & launching a tech startup! I’ll be sharing my entrepreneurship journey and how I’m building a business that will disrupt fashion e-commerce !

This is smart for several reasons. I’ve seen this type of model before. I categorize these as “novelty” or “flash” AI businesses, where there’s an initial burst of interest, one-time user experience, and influx of cash. Then the founder(s) can make a sustainable, second business afterwards

Thank you! I’m really excited to solve this problem and help people!

Icy blue was an absolute ERA! 🩵

Haha, right! 🙈

What was a pivotal moment in your app build journey?

I initially built an app to curate outfits for fun. During the process, I unexpectedly discovered several major inefficiencies in the e-commerce browsing experience. Now, I’m fully focused on building a solution! #indiehackers #buildinpublic

Haha this is me currently. I look back and I’ve come so incredibly far in my build, but now launching is becoming a reality and I’m trying to keep self doubt at bay and not procrastinate!

Anne @butterflyfield.bsky.social · Jan 8

Yes! I’ve observed more and more apps rewarding users with premium app features, through referrals

Anne @butterflyfield.bsky.social · Jan 8

Sounds fascinating! You must be making incredible discoveries! 👏

Wooo! X2 is a big deal! Congrats 🥳

There are ENDLESS opportunities to optimize and productize services. Once I started working with APIs — through hands on testing, coding, and data analysis— I began discovering gaps and inefficiencies. It’s like striking gold! #buildinpublic #ai #tech #developer #technicalfounder

Being a founder can feel lonely. AI is encouraging me to break through self limiting beliefs and achieve my business goals. Today it predicted I have the potential to build a 7 to 8 figure app. That is so beyond my current reality, I am still adjusting to the idea! #founder #ai #tech #buildinpublic

Anne @butterflyfield.bsky.social · Jan 7

There’s a misconception when I say I’m “using AI to code.” I’m not coding a ChatGPT wrapper or automating mundane tasks. I’m leveraging AI to create algorithms, curate data and integrate multiple systems. AI is my thought partner, helping me work through abstract problems #ai #buildinpublic #tech

What excites me most about entrepreneurship, is the idea that I can reach financial freedom, allowing me to pursue creative ventures! I will be able to create more projects that have a positive impact on the world #founder #entrepreneur #buildinpublic

Many successful people start in isolated or humble beginnings, but it’s the ability to hold onto a larger vision and work incrementally toward it that transforms dreams into reality #founder #entrepreneur #mindset

Anne @butterflyfield.bsky.social · Jan 7

Focus on small, consistent progress. Even imperfect action is better than no action! Allow yourself to learn through mistakes, rather than waiting for perfection #mindset #motivation

You’re not trying to be one in a million; you’re becoming one of a kind! #entrepreneur #founder #mindset #motivation

I’m not waiting for something to happen. I’m making it happen! #entrepreneur #mindset #buildinpublic #ai #founder #fashion #tech #affirmations

The hardest part is launching! After you do, momentum builds
- One feature leads to engagement
- Engagement leads to feedback
- Feedback leads to refinement
- Refinement leads to growth

Your launch doesn’t need to be perfect; it just needs to be good enough for that 1st domino to tip #buildinpublic

Haha absolutely! 🤗 Planning to launch an open beta within the next several months!
