This app founder rode a TikTok trend to 17.2M views - and hit #2 on the App Store.
App: BiteSight
Platform: TikTok + IG + X
Strategy: Trend remix + viral loop
How it worked:
→ Quietly posted content & tested for months
→ One video with a raw hook:
“My brother’s gonna show you the app that he built and y’all gonna like it.”
→ Same clip posted on TikTok & IG → 17.2M views + 520K IG
→ Borrowed format from a viral trend (tt@yearningyardies)
→ Meme pages & influencers reposted → looped buzz & downloads
Outcome: #2 App Store rank, millions of impressions, viral loop across platforms.

VC fake rejection reasons:
•No moat
•Too much competition
•Come back after you get a lead
•Valuation is too high
•TAM is too small
•Not enough traction
•Your retention sucks
•You’re too early
Real reason:
•I don’t believe you’ll win.
Go @LuciousIV and Zac! Love seeing these guys getting more and more attention but it isn't just because they make great videos. They also built a product that people love using, which is much harder to do! @TryBiteSight
We mentioned this exact format when it went viral recently for BiteSight 3 weeks ago.
The SAME thing happened to Blapp with this format a few days back.
