᠅ Founder Tip: The first 10 users matter more than the first 1,000 Chasing vanity metrics early on is a trap. What you really need? 10 users who love your product so much they’d be upset if you shut it down. Here’s how to find and convert them: 1. Identify your ideal user Be specific. Not “students”—but “engineering students preparing for GATE with less than 6 months left.” Niche wins early. 2. Go manual. Go deep. Email them. Call them. Sit with them. You don’t scale yet. You learn. What do they need? What don’t they like? What are they already paying for? 3. Give them a reason to care Solve one tiny painful problem really well. Ex: “We send you a summary of your professors’ lectures on WhatsApp every day.” Simple. Specific. Useful. 4. Measure intensity, not quantity Do they come back daily? Refer friends without asking? Give detailed feedback? That’s real love—not likes or followers. 5. Turn them into evangelists Give them shoutouts. Early access. Co-creator status. If they feel like part of your journey, they’ll grow it with you. Find 10 obsessed users. Then scale.
