We hit 3k users, never having raised before. Why are we struggling to raise?

See title. We&#x27;re having a ridiculously hard time trying to raise. We thought having gotten this kind of traction off of $0 of funding would look impressive to investors, but we haven&#x27;t really gotten much of a response.<p>Is it that we don&#x27;t know the right people? Are we pitching it the wrong way? Would love to connect with folks who know what they&#x27;re doing in this space for advice.

probably this should be an Ask Hn:, I guess magical.app is the text expander? My guess would be if you&#x27;re looking VC money they wouldn&#x27;t see it as a tool with great potential be something everybody uses, it&#x27;s a niche tool and they want ubiquity - that&#x27;s just a guess though.

Yeah, I build a similar app many years ago. The market is a bit problematic.
