Hello everyone,

This one cuts a little deeper. It's about self-editing. And self-rejection.

As a new product in closed beta, we did surprisingly well in our debut on Product Hunt. I ve already written about our full launch-day tactics (see previous forum post), but some founders reached out asking:

What specifically worked for Product Hunt?

Here are the 5 biggest things I will repeat as we plan a future open beta launch. I hope it helps you too!

Hey all - I see a lot of posts here (and even more on Reddit + founder forums) about working with influencers and creators. Why? Well, they control attention, and we all need it!

I used to run creators at adidas (there it s anyone from an artist to an athlete to an influencer). After that I was at TikTok (where creators = the product - without them, the algo has nothing to match).

Self-centred update today, but adding the top Product Hunt badge to our site felt real good. See bottom right of image, also online here: meet-ting.com

Thanks again, gives us pride and satisfaction.

I wrote last week about how we re building Ting on two axes: one to get attention, the other to build the product.

On attention, we re doing pretty well in 3-weeks:

• 1k on the waitlist.

• 200 people have joined meetings booked by Ting already.

• 375 invites sent out so far...

There s a lot you end up thinking about as a startup founder.

Success, doom... and the question that connects those dots:

Hey all,

We just made a much overdue update to our website based on some key insights that I thought helpful to share.

Hey all,

In our recent Ting v2 launch, we talked about giving your calendar your brain so it can make decisions for you. That means moving from reactive proactive full automation.

We're constantly looking for ways to reduce the pain and cognitive load of managing your calendar.

We started with something simple: CC Ting in an email and it schedules the meeting for you.

Hey all,

It s that time of year where if you re not writing a year ahead post, then what are you even doing?
