@StevenCravotta It’s all about building the highest possible user intent so they’re willing to make the commitment at the paywall. Just look at Headway’s and BetterMe’s web funnel quizzes that are like 40 questions long.
So excited to share that @Dessn_ai has raised $6m, led @pietrobezza , with participation from @betaworks , N49P, and a few other amazing partners and angels.
@eminimnim and I started the company 2 years ago
with one conviction: the future of product development wouldn’t happen in disconnected mockups or recreated environments. It would happen directly in production.
Today, Dessn is the only product that enables an entire team to design and prototype directly in prod — visually, collaboratively, and in one click.
@MemIngenjoeren@morfah@FredrikHjelm4 Om jag är orolig för att Valve ska stämma oss 6 år senare för att vi sålde CS-fusk när vi var 14 år? Svar : Nej det är jag inte.
@kruxigt@FredrikHjelm4 30% makes sense when the platform actually distributes you. Airbnb does. App Store doesn't, discovery is all Meta and TikTok and other channels now. ATT (iOS 14.5) was Apple trying to take credit for traffic they didn't send.
@morfah@FredrikHjelm4 Fair. Users never got banned tough. Stripe banned us a few times. Seems like people like what we're doing now better. Stripe too.
Met @marcusgpersson and Nils in Stockholm when they were 18.
At 14 they'd already built a Counter-Strike cheat that did $150k in revenue.
Today they raised seed for Zellify, helping app creators escape the app store tax.
Stockholm is on fire right now.
Great post, missing a few things tough.
Creative and funnel have to match.
Without web2app, every ad angle lands on the same App Store page, so you’re capped at whatever that one listing can carry.
Web lets you run a different funnel per angle. Menopause gets its own quiz, postpartum gets a different one, diabetes gets a third. Same app, completely different conversion.
And the 1M ARR threshold is off. Speed of iteration matters more when you’re small, not less. Early stage is when you need the reps the most.
