@sherifgjini Problem first since that's the foundation.

I think the offer can always be tweaked and the ICP can change if needed.

@shiri_shh Agreed, distribution is going to be key moving forward.

Anyone can build now, but you need to have the right keys to distribute

[Ger 〽️ @MPlegas]

Had a great time chatting with @ProofStories this week.

They told the Tierly story better than I ever could 🙌

They covered everything:
✧ the rebuild from scratch
✧ the 100 waitlist signups in 48h (zero ads)
✧ even the “Tierly vs ChatGPT” moment that sold itself

PS: ProofStories is a really great “corner” to launch your product

[ProofStories @ProofStories]

No revenue. No official launch. He still rebuilt the whole product from scratch when the frameworks hit their limits.

We had the pleasure of speaking with @MPlegas on this week's founder stories.

Here's a snippet:

Ger posted about his pricing tool on X.

100 waitlist signups in 48 hours.

No launch campaign. No ads. Product wasn't even finished.

Here's the thread 🧵

[ProofStories @ProofStories]

His free tier shows you the tactical layer of your pricing.

When it's done, the strategic layer is right there. Visible. Locked.

Founders can see there's more. They just can't get to it without upgrading.

No sales pitch needed.

@vivek_purswani_ Was great chatting with you @vivek_purswani_!

[ProofStories @ProofStories]

If everything feels urgent, nothing is strategic. Slow down to speed up.

[ProofStories @ProofStories]

The market doesn't reward effort. It rewards usefulness.

[ProofStories @ProofStories]

Momentum isn't speed. It's direction + consistency.

[ProofStories @ProofStories]

If you're getting polite feedback, you're not close enough to the pain.

[ProofStories @ProofStories]

Founders fail when they fall in love with the idea instead of the problem.
Marry the problem. Date the solution.

[ProofStories @ProofStories]

Comparison is toxic for founders.
You're comparing your backstage to someone else's highlight reel.
