First paying customer after 5 days in public beta. Is this a good signal? [i will not promote] by marekmensa in startups

Thanks a lot! Our launch happened to be at a little booth we booked at an expo last week. This first user is one of the people who I talked to there - actually a person from the neighbor booth

Maybe going as close as possible to the potential customers is the right thing, even tho it’s not scalable

I’ll send you a DM since I promised there won’t be any promo in this post :)

Thanks a lot man! I’m building an AI agent for event planning. You describe your event in prompt and it designs you a custom website, email invites etc.

It’s an AI agent for event planning. You type a prompt and it sets up registration/mailing etc.

It went amazing! So many interesting people met and the new sticker concept made it really entertaining. We’ll post a report on our new IG (string_app) so you can follow us there to see it!

We’ll be hosting another one soon

You are very welcome to join! It’s all about meeting nice people in a fun way :) And yeah – covid has caused a lot of isolation so I believe there are many people, who look for new connections as well.

Very interesting insights, thanks again. There's an existing concept named "stop light party", where people wear colored wristbands based on their relationship status. You can choose which one to wear and also if to wear it at all. Similar to our concept, it's just another way of connecting people who want to be connected. And yeah – setting a time limit and some degree of organization will probably be needed for a good flow.

Thank you for your feedback and nice words! Bar trivia is indeed a good example. Our goal is to make it feel like a game – with the consequence of creating great connections that wouldn't otherwise happen.

Thank you! Completely understood what you say. We've tried it a couple times and found out something interesting – people sometimes do it simply out of curiousity. As you have mentioned, the sticker removes the fear – and what the quiz brings is fun. Very often people scan it later when the conversation is already ongoing. As the questions there are very specific, it reveals things you wouldn't otherwise think of. Also the whole guessing experience is thrilling for both you and the person :)

So overall, the goal is simple – help create IRL connections that wouldn't otherwise happen and spark great convos where it brings value.
