What do you honestly think of asynchronous communication?

In our traditional work world, we're used to meetings (video or not) where we all attend at the same time. However, in our new remote work world, asynchronous communication is taking hold. This happens when information is shared and people can respond and collaborate on their own time. (Here is an example: https://app.weet.co/play/707395d... ) Does sharing information asynchronously appeal to you? Do you like the idea of sharing info and waiting a few hours (or a day) for responses in exchange for the convenience of responding on your own time? Do you like the idea of not having to respond instantly? Do you think it's beneficial to have more time to "think on" big decisions and have more clarity before moving forward? I'm curious to know how readily you would adopt asynchronous communication. Any insights would be helpful

How did you land your first customers?

What has worked for you in landing your first few customers? We've just launched a public beta with a couple of initial customers and looking to onboard more. I'm curious what worked for others, especially in b2b saas space. P.S. Apologies if this topic has already been explored but I haven't found anything relevant.
