@paolo_scales The underrated part of LinkedIn funnels is the CRM handoff. Most teams get the replies, then leads sit untagged for days and the warm intent just dies.
@WillManidis Asset light gets even more real when AI collapses build cost. The expensive part left is distribution, so raising big mostly just buys ads you could have earned.
@starter_story Boring data sites win because the moat is the upkeep, not the build. Anyone can scrape a list once, almost nobody keeps it accurate for three years.
@cheaf25master build cost dropped a ton but distribution didn't. most founders i talk to spend way more on getting the first 50 users than on the code now
@GohilHardy watched this happen with our own roadmap. the stuff that got applause on launch day barely got used, the boring csv import got used every single day
@DeveloperHarris the boring saas for physical businesses is where i keep seeing the money though. a plumber's scheduling tool is still a physical problem, just one layer up
@agazdecki Curious how much of that ARR is WhatsApp. Feels like that channel alone is a business in LatAm and India while US tools still treat it as an add-on.
@C_Shelefontiuk Works, but the free build has to fix something they already know is broken. A random redesign gets ignored, a fix for their leaky checkout gets a call.
@omoalhajaabiola The website is the easy sell. The missed-call text back is what actually keeps them paying month 3, at least with the cleaning and detailing clients I've seen.
@codyschneider Makes sense, running an agency forces you to ship things that actually move a client's numbers. Do you screen for that with a paid trial project or just their past client work?
@BrianRoemmele The "hire, don't build" framing matches what I've seen. The agents that stick are the ones with one narrow job and a clear owner, not the do-everything ones.
