Rocketcoil Growth
Dec 1st, 2021
There has been a lot going on at Rocketcoil in the last quarter of 2021. Here's a bit of an insight:
- Cashflow Challenge - Most every person, but especially entrepreneurs and business people tend to wonder how to make more money. It can be for the money's sake, or because it's a measurable indicator that you're doing something that people are willing to pay for, and in turn, therefore needed.
Rocketcoil was a small endeavor at the beginning of the year, with big goals, although as a 'project' Rocketcoil has been around for a while. For a big chunk of my career, it was a sort of a side venture, a way to show my work (along with other colleagues) to people who might be interested to work with me, and means for me to communicate my findings to the world.
Over the last year, Rocketcoil has come to grow into a business on its own. It's currently standing as a desired self-sustained design studio, mainly consisting of me, but it's looking to expand to another designer in the very near future.
- Digital Bands - It's been my main entrepreneurial endeavor for the second half of 2020 and the first half of 2021. For a while, I've been doing other projects and jobs as means to sustain Digital Bands to be developed into a solid business model. The fact, that it's going to take not only more time but likely more money from my side is what prompted Rocketcoil's side to roll up its sleeves.
It's still a very promising project, with more confirmations than ever before that we're on the right path. Eyes and ears of prominent local businessmen, entrepreneurs, investors, and individuals are on us, mainly eyeing what comes next.
That latter thing is the reason I'm for now taking the project back to the drawing board, to simplify it even more for the MVP. Its current version is absolutely great and simple in theory, but I need it to be even simpler. Every good story starts somewhere, and I'm only lacking the start. What the DB project needs right now is this "ease" from the "here we are right now" to the "here is where this comes in". I have ideas.
- Spinoff - There's another small project I'm working on that's gaining traction. It was entirely on the side for most of the time, never expecting it to go anywhere. I'm keeping it a secret for now, but more might show around the website in the future.
