July was our best month at Articos since our launch.
- ARR up 82%
- Customer acquisition up 100%
- Activation rate up 70%
- 123% more studies completed
We shipped:
- Organisation feature so users can now add their team members and collaborate.
- Bulk persona refine so users can run refinement across multiple personas in one go
- Several improvements across persona generation to better support the demographic needs across studies.
- Report improvements
- Better context gathering for message testing
Besides all this, great conversations with customers and prospects this month. Users are loving the speed and quality of insights they are getting. Prospects are seeing a lot of value on how Articos can help them with faster decision making. We are now seeing more acceptance across the board to use simulated audience for decision making as results are now ~90% similar to real world research at a fraction of cost and time
Entering Aug with a lot more conviction and momentum! Can't wait to continue the momentum and get event better results in Aug.

It simulates your target audience so marketing and product teams can get instant user feedback. Articos works as an alway on decision layer
Skipping user research feels fast in the moment.
But the real cost shows up in the decisions you make without it.
@ShaheerGadit is building @Articoshq to make user insight faster, and part of every decision from day one.
That's a wrap on Dubai.
Full house. 100+ people. Every conversation was worth having.

On June 2 at Disrupt HQ Dubai, we’re opening up how ventures get built before they become companies.
How ideas get validated. How operators are selected. How capital gets deployed. How founders go from “thinking about it” to building full-time.
You’ll sit with founders who’ve built and exited, operators running active ventures, and the engine behind @Cloudways ($350M exit) & @PureVPNcom (5M+ users).
No pitch deck required. No technical background required. Just the drive to build.
Get an opportunity to leave as our next co-founder with a $250K cheque + $100K in credits.

We just used @perplexity_ai computer to fix our Articos landing page messaging in 10 minutes and this might be the most interesting computer use case.
So we have this research paper where we benchmark Articos across 46 different studies and it has all the academic / technical details. It was a nightmare to convert this into clean marketing copy. We kept going back and forth on the messaging for days.
Then I thought let me just give this to perplexity computer, uploaded the research paper, asked it to review our current page, identify whats not working, and suggest new copy grounded in the actual buyer
language from the interviews. Oh boy! In 10 minutes
it read the full paper, opened our page, and came back with specific problems - we were leading with the wrong value prop and we were out there selling speed and price. completely different message.
We spent days debating messaging internally and computer told us in 10 minutes what we were missing!
