- Product: QnA app for startup founders to learn and grow (https://mapped.rocks)
- June 2020
- 216 signups in a month. But we had our waitlist ready before launching
- Now we have 1.5k users across 12 countries.
- During the first 30 days every day was a lesson, simply because everything was wrongly done hah! Bug fixes and UI improvements constantly for the first 2-3 months.
@brandongaille Awesome question, 3x the number that joined us in the first week. Then I found a research saying, always expect 15-20% from your waitlist to actually use your product.
@hwei_oh we mainly used direct email, and linkedin to approach the right founders for our app. We almost had 1k in the waitlist, however only 200-300 joined right away.

- We had 15 users in our first 30 days
- Most of them were friends and family
- All of them provided direct feedback
15 months later our product has been used over 200,000 times in 150+ countries by 4,500+ companies. The feedback of these first 15 users was valuable, even though you have to balance it somewhat. My friends and family do not hold back :) now, we regularly ask for feedback and this stil determines our product roadmap.
