Build an audience first, or launch and grow later?

This is probably one of the most debated topics in the startup world: Should you build an audience before you launch, or is it better to launch first and grow your audience afterward? I ve seen both approaches work, but each comes with its own set of challenges and rewards. - Building an audience first means you're creating buzz, validating your idea, and nurturing a community of early adopters who are invested in your success. But it takes time, patience, and a lot of effort to keep the momentum going before you even have a product to show. - Launching first lets you hit the ground running, gather real-world feedback, and iterate quickly. But without an existing audience, you might struggle to get those initial users and traction. So, indulge me: Which approach did you take or are you considering taking (those who haven't launched yet)? - Did you build an audience before launching your product, or did you launch and then focus on growth? - What worked (or didn't work) for you? - If you could go back, would you do it differently? Share your story with us so we can all learn from each other. There's someone here who could benefit from your experience. ----- P.S: If you're a growth-stage founder struggling with churn or stagnant customer acquisition (usually because of poor positioning and messaging), I'd love to help. I specialize in crafting impactful marketing strategies tailored specifically to your product so you can start seeing the results you deserve. Connect with me on LinkedIn today.

Why Am I Not Loving Claude?

I am not a developer. I am a sales/business guy who gets an obscene amount of value out of ChatGPT. It remembers who I am, seems to give me better answers than Claude, and I have the impression that it s a leading model, whereas Claude is top 10 maybe top five, but not top three. With that said, all I hear online is that Claude is better on all fronts. It s better for coding, more ethical, and will last longer than ChatGPT. I even hear it has better models. If that s the case, why do I feel like it pales in comparison to my ChatGPT experience? Why does my own experience not align with the broader appeal I see for Claude every day? Is it because I don't code or am I just using it poorly?
