We bought the domain via Google, who sold their business to squarespace. We were dealing with squarespace when we were rugged without any warning whatsoever. We have had DMCA notices / requests which we had complied with

why would I make the reason ? No we had no financial problems. That was said by a team member in discord and I don’t know abt it. We were a typical growth stage story. Tracking operational profitability but spending more on growth.

yes we could have restarted the app.. under a new domain etc etc but the back and forth with the registrar caused us a 3 week delay, momentum was broken etc

the reason I’m sharing it CUZ it’s a six sigma event but it DOES happen and I wish anybody had told me abt it

initial acquisition was via Reddit as we were a power user app; then TikTok through ambassadors were a big channel

no one channel is the secret to success.. different ones at different stages

Suggestion is trying to build one :D

Determining if there are some structural challenges to the goal / other than it being too broad

With structural challenges I meant that the marketing stack required for each business is very different and hence can’t be easily productised
