You have an idea, started building already or perhaps you have a prototype or an MVP.
How do companies get their first 10,20,50,100 customers?<p>This is the valley of deaths where most of the nascent companies die.
There are a lot of great stories and anecdotes created post-factum to entertain but they do provide little applicability and value.
Any thoughts on this ?
There are a lot of ways to get first users and customers. Just try to act in different channels:<p>— Product hunt<p>— Beta users platforms<p>— Direct contacts (just to get first users and feedback)<p>— Posting your startup at platforms like Betalist<p>— Posting on Twitter<p>— Meidum posts<p>— Cold emails<p>— LinkedIn discussions<p>— Engaging on Facebook groups<p>— Organic search<p>— Slack chats
