Ask HN: How did your startup get its first real users? A lot of startup advice is vague. I’m interested in concrete stories: How did you actually get your: first 10 users first 50 users first 100 users? What channels worked? What totally failed? Any tactics that still work in 2025 despite all the noise? Please share your experience. |
Sure, but in an ocean of quantity you need to know where to look for quality:
1. https://www.startupschool.org/
2. Book: The Lean Startup.
Those 2 resources address everything you need to know and then some, with concrete advice.
> What channels worked?
You have it all wrong.
Still a lot of learning to go, though
That likely doesn't help other than, think about where your customers are
