How Not to Make an App That Only Has 1% Shot at Turning Profit?

99% of apps that go live never actually make money. If you want to be the 1% that does, you should talk to your ideal customers.

If you don't have the time to talk to your ideal customers, you should let us do it for you.

We'll try to sell your product to 50 of your ideal customers 1 on 1. When we sell, you get new customers (yay!), when we don't, we learn about what stops your ideal customers from buying from you, so you can fix it (also yay!).

Click the link, book a call, let us know you came from Hacker News, and you'll get 15% off.

Sounds promising. How do you find ideal customers? That's usually the hard part.
TirmanCica•1h ago
Good question. We either target the people that have publicly voiced having problems your app solves or have complained about your competitors.

When the pool of those isn't big enough, we go a bit broader, but still stick to your ideal customer profile.
