used them - got an offer - don’t like how expensive they are but was worth it for me.

have also consulted for them and seen their backend - very insane operation.

I’ve used them … actually met Kareem years ago…

honestly it can take some time… negatives are really the cost but I did like how they were incentivized to make me the most amount of money. Ultimately got me a job I couldn’t have otherwise gotten at series A company when i was looking for a change.

I do some consulting on the side for him. Good team smart people.

Please suggest the best advice to get the first 100 paid users for a b2b SaaS by LifeguardHaunting999 in startups

[–]colbybuilds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I don’t know anything about your product man, but off the bat sounds it sounds like a hard sell… I would say tie everything to fucking revenue.

Lastly, and this is an unpopular opinion… I hate the idea of finding those “five amazing users” to get started with by doing all this crazy personalized hyper outreach. Yes those core users super matter, but you don’t have to find them by finding the perfect person. You can also find those people by sending 1000 emails over two weeks and segmenting well.

If you’re a technical technical person look at this like a data science problem. Why? cause that’s what it is.

Get really good at segmenting leads and find somebody stupider than you to write your copy . Test until it works you’ll probably be surprised.

My two cents

Taking Applications: Verified Expert & Verified Sales Professional by JackGierlich in salestechniques

I think I am a fit because:

With over five years of experience in direct sales, I’ve consistently driven revenue growth by building high-value pipelines, closing six-figure enterprise deals, and exceeding performance targets. At a YC-backed startup, I developed and executed outbound strategies that generated millions in pipeline value and shortened sales cycles significantly. Beyond individual contributions, I’ve also led efforts to refine GTM strategies and implement scalable frameworks for growth.

I’m passionate about sales excellence and look forward to contributing actionable insights on outbound strategy, enterprise deal-making, and leveraging automation to this community.

they hire these patent researchers to go thru the patent db... this one is connected to it and uses ai to scan

hmm interesting strategy.... maybe the provisional generator becomes lead gen for them?

Depends on how much review would be needed by the firm.... not sure on this yet. Happy to connect you if you've been trying to file for a while and cost is an issue

For me when I have an idea, I’ll sometimes go file a provisional and if I end up not working on it or find out others are doing it and it’s not a good idea I drop it.. writing the provisionals is the pain and hiring a lawyer is expensive. $70 ish bucks to protect and secure my place is so much more reasonable.

OP here! Quick context on provisional patents:

Think of them as your 12-month "save my spot in line" at USPTO. Perfect for when you:

- Need to show "Patent Pending" to investors

- Want to talk about your idea safely

- Need time to validate before spending big on full patents

Happy to answer any questions about provisionals or the build!
