After a year of work, I couldn’t sell a single subscription.
It failed. Now it’s frozen.
My second product launched just three weeks after the idea came to me.
A week later, I had my first user interview, and two months later, I got my first paying subscriber.
Now every email from Stripe makes me smile. I’ve never felt this kind of joy from $1,000. But I feel it now from every $29.
Big thanks to the early users of fatgrid.com for the support 🙏
Founders, learn from others’ mistakes.
And from the voices of common sense, like John Rush.
Don’t spend months building and burning cash before talking to users.
Build what people want.
Not what you think they want.
