Mundo Sanchez's startup accidentally charged early members multiple times, forcing him to debug payment systems on New Year's Day. With 143 members, mostly friends, he's focused on fixing bugs before bringing in real customers who won't tolerate the current problems.
Super frustrating having these kind of setbacks. But I mean, this is, this is building a software company, right? Like, this is what happens when you're on the ground floor. First, first couple of people that signed up, I think the first like 3 or 4 people literally got charged like 2 or 3 or 4 times for their membership. And it's just like, you know, fighting through those battles. It's like later down the road, this is going to be such a funny video to watch. But right now it's like not that funny. Like, honestly. Like, not funny at all. Well, I guess it's funny because I'm laughing now. But yeah, I mean, I was spending New Year's Day just cranking through and just trying to plow through problems and just get this in a point where it can be ready to scale and market. Because I can't scale this right now when there's problems. When I think something works, I deploy it and it's not working. You can't just bring in a bunch of cold traffic they're not going to be lenient. You know, the people that are in those 143 members, like, there's a pretty high percentage of those members, like, they're all my friends, they're all people I've talked to and hung out with. Like, they're going to be a little bit more supportive and understanding versus cold traffic. They're going to be like, bro, why isn't this working? This is dumb. I'm not going to pay for this. So I got to get this stuff going, you know.
