Samit Patel: Start Your Business As A Side Hustle

What does your agency do?

We help businesses launch to market, specifically focused on products and consumer electronics. We’ve worked with products like Mindset Headphones, Circadia sleep tracker and smart lamp, and a language app called Fluent Forever. In the five years since the agency started, we’ve helped clients raise over $31M. 

Do you have any advice for others looking to do what you’ve done?

Start your business off as a side hustle. That gives you all the stability of a regular job, letting you take more risks with your side hustle as you grow it, and it’s much easier to finance a side hustle when you have a steady income. It’s also nice to not have the pressure to succeed immediately. You can take more time to really figure out what you want and what the best way is to make it happen.

What motto do you live by?Just do it. You can’t wait for things to be perfect because they never will be. It’s better to just get started, even if you start small.
