@ClintFiore This makes sense β a buyer quitting their job needs the business to pay a salary AND service the debt from day one. That's why smaller-profit listings stall: the math only works if the buyer already has income. Minimums aren't gatekeeping, they're honesty about the deal.
Your first 10 customers teach you more than your first 1,000 visitors.
Talk to them. Watch where they get stuck. Fix that one thing before you add features.
Growth is a conversation, not a funnel.
Follow @StartupMKT_ β I share one practical founder lesson every day.
Most founders ask for more traffic when the real problem is a leak halfway through the funnel. Finding where growth gets stuck β the step where interested people quietly leave β is worth more than doubling visitors. Diagnose first, then pour.
Every startup faces growth challenges, but the real problem is knowing where growth is getting stuck.
For AI, SaaS, and fintech startups, getting more traffic isn't always the answer. Sometimes, the issue is what happens after someone discovers your product.
A startup might attract qualified prospects but struggle to explain its value clearly.
Another might book plenty of demos but fail to turn them into paying customers. Even after a successful signup, users may leave if they don't experience the product's value quickly enough.
Each problem requires a different solution.
1) If qualified leads aren't coming in, review your targeting and acquisition channels.
2) If prospects don't understand your product, sharpen your positioning and messaging.
3) If demos aren't converting, look at the objections buyers raise and whether your product addresses their priorities.
4) If users leave after signup, examine onboarding and how quickly they reach their first meaningful result.
Don't try to fix every growth problem at once. Find the biggest bottleneck in your customer journey and solve that first.
More marketing activity won't necessarily create more growth. Understanding where potential customers lose interest is a much better place to start.

@natiakourdadze There's a word for it: building in a loop. Features feel like progress because they're shippable; marketing feels slow because the feedback is delayed. The fix is usually one distribution experiment with a deadline. Which channel have you tried for 30 days straight?
@pierreeliottlal Clever wedge β your browsing history is already a lead list, you're just making it usable. The risk is the outreach feeling scraped rather than researched. Do you personalize the first line from something on their site, or let the tech-stack match do the targeting?
@BuildingWaves@jessesibley_ Selling is about reaching buyers who already buy small SaaS β not more features. Listing it free where buyers browse beats another month of outreach, no commission. What's the MRR? π https://t.co/Op4icWH2Gn
@skpnky 430 products in one thread is a wild dataset β the pattern worth pulling out is not which products won, it is what the first 10 had in common before they took off. Did you notice a shared distribution channel, or was it mostly timing and niche?
@dannypostma Turning books into agent skills is a neat arbitrage β the knowledge is already structured, you are just changing the reader. Which books survive the translation best: the ones with checklists and procedures, or the ones with judgment calls?
Hinton: read a little, spot what everyone is doing wrong, then do it right β and keep at it when people say it's no good. If your intuitions are good, follow them. https://t.co/A6yk7CZQi8 #AI#Startups
Most founders lose money in one moment of their exit: the first offer. They grab it out of relief β or reject it out of pride. Both cost them. Here's how to negotiate a startup sale without leaving money on the table: π§΅
The best negotiators aren't the toughest β they're the most prepared. Know your number, slow the tempo, trade terms not just price, and never bid against yourself. Follow @StartupMKT_ for one sell-side playbook a day β negotiation, pricing, and clean exits.
The correction here is important: it's not SaaS that's dead, it's building for an audience that already has ten options. Narrow software still sells β it just sells to buyers outside your own timeline now. Build for a buyer you can actually reach.
@b4dgerr Trials are a pricing decision in disguise. Seven days sounds generous, but if most buyers need three to decide, the extra four days just delay the yes β or give them time to talk themselves out of it. Testing the 3-day version is the right move; watch activation, not signups.
