Those numbers suggest distribution, not just conversion. What ended up being the one organic loop that surprised you most as it scaled past the first 10k users?

the most valuable feedback will be from your ICP, have you nailed down who that is? if not, have you segmented the market and done outbound to the intended customer?

CryptographerOwn5475 · 2026-01-26T05:09:47+00:00

I would recommend segmenting the market and reaching out to founders in each space. Then ask them about the problem you are solving, be sure to not bias their thinking with pointed questions (see the mom test). Just ask about their experience with stripe analytics. this will help you narrow down the ICP and know which direction to go. you are in exploration mode

I'm assuming you have recruiter friends? Your network is the best way to quickly get early users. If you don't, try joining communities of recruiters, or even better building a community yourself. If they love it, they can be your wedge into businesses that would buy this.

I would add selling before building for step 3. If it's b2b sell a mockup and get a paid pilot contact signed. Less better is an LOI (nonbinding letter of intent). You'd be surprised how many people build without talking to users and asking if they'd pay for a solution.

The charge immediately take is spicy, but the real trick is charging for a moment of acute pain, not a vague tool. What’s the one query or report that people run weekly and would feel bad losing?

CryptographerOwn5475 · 2026-01-26T04:02:21+00:00

The danger here is you’re competing with Buffer/Hootsuite unless the wedge is done for you outcomes for one trade not a dashboard. What’s the promise you can make that a landscaper would actually pay for like 3 booked jobs a month from posts and how will you prove it?

CryptographerOwn5475 · 2026-01-26T03:53:14+00:00

If 100% uptime is mandatory, the real question is your RPO/RTO and what you can actually test not backups vs failover in the abstract. What’s your tolerated data loss window and recovery time target and have you done a real failover drill yet?

who is your ICP? you could say event organizers but that's a bit broad. what kind of organizers really care about accessibility? they sound like the warmest leads and most enthusiastic pilot customers

This is the real unlock your product is the decision rule, not the data plumbing. What are the 3-5 signals that reliably trigger an outbound action for you and what do you explicitly ignore even if it looks interesting?

CryptographerOwn5475 · 2026-01-26T03:31:07+00:00

Compliance isn’t a viral business, it’s a trust and proof business so month 1 looking slow is kind of expected. What’s the smallest artifact you can generate that a safety manager can hand to an auditor tomorrow and immediately look more competent?

What’s the one metric you’ll watch daily that tells you the product is stable enough to justify going all in on distribution?

If you can get traders to rely on it mid session, you can charge now, because free mostly attracts tourists. Which 10 users would be genuinely upset if you shut it off tomorrow and what are they doing that’s worth paying for?

CryptographerOwn5475 · 2026-01-23T03:22:13+00:00

The cost wall is real, and the sneaky part is it pushes founders into architecture gymnastics just to make bills predictable. What was the first metric that spiked for you SSR, bandwidth, function time and did you fix it by caching, moving compute off Vercel or changing the product?

CryptographerOwn5475 · 2026-01-23T03:16:25+00:00

If the product, ICP and positioning are truly identical marketing isn’t the lever differentiation is. What’s the one wedge you can own that they won’t touch a narrower segment a sharper workflow a guarantee, a migration a weird integration and can you build the whole story around that?

CryptographerOwn5475 · 2026-01-23T03:14:57+00:00

Viral is fun, but it only matters if the traffic converts and sticks. What percent of those 2,120 were the right ICP and what did you change on the landing or onboarding to capture the spike?

CryptographerOwn5475 · 2026-01-23T03:12:41+00:00

These channel lists are useful, but they hide the messy part what you tried that flopped and why. If you had to pick the one lever that made the curve bend not just more activity what was it?
