people might just see @sideshift_app as an ugc marketplace but it’s pretty incredible how it’s really 3 companies merged into 1

- saas platform (analytics)
- consumer app
- creator marketplace

all 3 could function as its own entity if it really wanted to be

every person on the team is literally responsible of building their own company

incredible to be part of this team no matter what slight dip the App Store thinks of us because this company is going to the moon 🚀

Dropped 10 spots overnight from
#30 -> #40

Not all sunshine and rainbows

Trying to break Top 25 and see if we can hold position.

Going to cut the creators who haven’t been performing and layer them into an existing successful program, it’s all about scale now baby!
