Ask HN: How do startups get their first customers?
You have an idea, started building already or perhaps you have a prototype or an MVP.
How do companies get their first 10,20,50,100 customers?
This is the valley of deaths where most of the nascent companies die.
There are a lot of great stories and anecdotes created post-factum to entertain but they do provide little applicability and value.
Any thoughts on this ?
- PaulMit 5y agoThere are a lot of ways to get first users and customers. Just try to act in different channels: — Product hunt — Beta users platforms — Direct contacts (just to get first users and feedback) — Posting your startup at platforms like Betalist — Posting on Twitter — Meidum posts — Cold emails — LinkedIn discussions — Engaging on Facebook groups — Organic search — Slack chats
