Nail Your ICP and Value Proposition

Schedule ten short conversations with people who feel the problem urgently. Listen for repeated words, emotional spikes, and workarounds. Turn their language into your copy and your backlog priorities.

Craft a Minimum Lovable Brand

Pick two colors, one typeface, and a clean logo mark. Consistency beats complexity for early trust. Share your draft in our comments for quick feedback from fellow founders.

Craft a Minimum Lovable Brand

Explain the moment you hit the wall and decided to build. Personal stakes create credibility. One fintech founder’s late-night reconciliation fiasco became the hook that won enterprise pilots.

Own Your Home Base: Website and Landing Pages

Avoid decision fatigue. Offer a primary action that matches intent: start trial, book demo, or get checklist. Place it above the fold and repeat after every meaningful section.

Replace generic praise with quantified outcomes, recognizable logos, and before–after visuals. A single metric-laden testimonial can outperform a carousel. Share your best proof point to inspire others.

Set up analytics, event tracking, and privacy-safe heatmaps. Define funnel steps you can actually change. When a tweak moves conversion, capture the learning and subscribe to see our next teardown.

Publish Problem-Aware Content

Map three stages: symptom, diagnosis, solution. Write one high-quality guide per stage weekly. A devtools startup did this for six months and halved CAC while doubling qualified trials.

Paid Experiments Without Burning Cash

Test three drastically different angles: pain relief, aspiration, and proof. Keep the audience broad initially. One B2B startup cut CPA by 38% through bolder creative, not narrower targeting.

Send three emails that show outcomes, not features. Include a two-minute setup video and a checklist. Ask one question that reveals intent, then tailor the next touch automatically.

Surface the smallest meaningful action—import data, invite a teammate, or integrate a tool. Tie nudges to behavior, not time. Share your activation event and we’ll suggest improvements.

Turn wins into snackable case notes shared in-app. Celebrate milestones, tag features used, and invite referrals. A tiny SaaS raised net revenue retention by spotlighting monthly customer breakthroughs.
