Your community is the beating heart of your brand
It’s your lifeline to your most loyal customers - and it’s a $$$-making machine.
I made a step-by-step guide with the exact framework we followed to grow our community at Obvi

@Codie_Sanchez Great post. But how to price a new product or service? Especially one that is a new category in itself (as opposed to a new product in a category with existing players)?
@gregisenberg Where do you put angel $ in this matrix? Friends & family type; ‘professional’ angel type; crowd funding type.
Each carries its own stresses & freedoms.
I reckon angel funding is far more prevalent than VC. Perhaps the backbone of entrepreneurial efforts.
@paulg The bias comes in when everything else is equal. Two equally exciting cos - 1 run by a founder who is like the VC, the other not - VC will choose the former. In a hyper competitive funding situation (too many deals)-isn’t this is often how it plays out?
@Codie_Sanchez About climate change - we can raise children to be entrepreneurs because the causes are everywhere - hiding in plain sight. The opportunities are endless - for those who want to pursue them. My 16 year old is doing this for example: https://t.co/Q79rIip5MX
@girdley Great list.
Don’t put the dream above family. There is a good chance what you start will fail, no matter what. You might regret also losing time with family along the way - something that will not come back.
@AnthonyVicino Spot on!
I have learnt the hard way that it’s not about time management but energy management.
Athletes need rest after a game or even a workout. So do brain workers. Being an entrepreneur lets me manage my energy. Which ends up with everything else you said 😅
@pmarca This could be looked at in terms of PMF. That inability is before PMF. After PMF it works. If it didn’t wouldn’t there be no progress at all? In other words, crossing the chasm - early adopters listen, and then the chasm.
@alwayzsonny@heyalexfriedman This morning my bestest friend from high school lost his wonderful amazing wife - just like that. Also crazy that I saw this tweet first thing i opened Twitter. Everything feels different - truly important things are more urgent, everything else can wait.
@StabilityAI it would seem natural to build tools like Uncrop into DreamStudio. Downloading and uploading is cumbersome. And a credit business model for both is more friendly. Thank you.
The new club razor is a disaster @DollarShaveClub on so many fronts.
1. How many millions of customers do you have? That many razor handles have instantly become obsolete - and will enter landfills. Be sure to add this waste to your ESG reports. 🤯
