How do remote teams capture a real emotional heartbeat without surveys?

Hey Product Hunt! I'm Christian, a founder working in the wellbeing/remote work space.

Something I keep seeing in remote and hybrid teams:

• We have tons of operational data but almost zero emotional data.

• Annual surveys are too slow.

• Monthly forms are too long.

I am curious how people actually do it.

There are tons of stories about founders launching SaaS products without an existing audience. No Twitter following, no newsletter, no community, nothing. Yet some still manage to get early traction and even hit real MRR.

If you have started from zero, I would love to hear:

• How you got your first users

• What channels brought the earliest traction

• Whether cold outreach works or not

• If content played a role or if you focused mainly on building

• What you would do differently if you had to start again
