I put together a digest of the last few months building Ting - the good, the meh, and the lessons I can imagine me wanting to tell future founders so they can dodge the bruises and get to the good stuff quicker...
The good: - Nearly 1,000 users - ~50% MoM growth with no ads. - Added Outlook, Teams, Zoom + multi-calendar. - Launched Memories, micro product moments when the AI remembers small details + you feel seen. - Team is now 2 founders, 2 engineers, AI QA + day-one consultant. Oh, and a baby was born yesterday! - Inbound pilots from a top 10 tech company, top 3 ad network, top 3 bank. - Great investor convos at Web Summit + SF.
We rebuilt our landing page around the single truth most founders learn too late: Nothing burns runway faster than building for nobody. So we cut the fluff, rebuilt the narrative from scratch, and anchored every section in real buyer behavior, not founder hope. I want your honest take. What s sharp?
What s unclear?
What still feels off? If you re building right now, your feedback is gold. www.holyshift.ai DM or comment I m reading everything.
