What do you think? …

Andrew Allsop
Good idea but a little light on content.
Lucas Lazaro
@andrewallsop Thought so too, the stories are too shallow and provide little insight into how the startups actually got their early adopters. The references are good though!
Andrew Bernstein
@andrewallsop Agreed. The content is super light, and provides little more than a one paragraph summary on the what the companies did. Didn't find it useful at all
Ryan Hoover
@andrewallsop agree. This article by @theunixbeard goes into a lot more detail on how we started Product Hunt: Product Hunt’s Rise: An Overnight Success 1,834 Days in the Making
Andrew Allsop
@theunixbeard @rrhoover Thanks Ryan, I've not seen this before. There's Growth Hacker's Growth Studies too which are really good - https://growthhackers.com/growth... I've no doubt a book on this subject would be a huge success.
Matt McSpiritt
@andrewallsop @andreoidb I think it would be beneficial to include a summary and then links to founders talking about their MVP/acquiring first users themselves (ex. Brian Chesky interviews about AirBnB are on YouTube).
Mike Williams (Yoroomie)
Agree with the other comments about needing more depth. Great concept though and a huge need for this type of resource! Maybe I'll submit some content on case studies I've done 🤔
Daniel Njoo
@yoroomie please do! this is obviously crowd-sourcing dependent
Tarun Gangwani
Looking forward to seeing Enterprise SaaS use cases.

also would be great to have some examples of b2c fintech startups like acorns, digit, lemonade, robinhood etc... the main difference here is that these apps need more trust as they deal with somebody's pocket/money :) looking forward to see some consumer end fintechs' examples
Artashes Vardanyan
@liandy213 oh thanks. would be great also to see acorns or digit or qapital. as i am focused on fintech and building a fintech startup www.getlooma.com i really would love to see how this guys are moving.
Artashes Vardanyan
@liandy213 oh ecommerce is also great asbesides software their business heavily relies on strong backoffice operations. would love to see doordash or instacart as well. thnx for the awesome work @liandy213
Ryan Hashemi
Would love a more fleshed out version of these snippets. Hard to glean much from a couple of sentences!
Kireeti Varma
Would love to see more in-depth insights on strategies they used to acquire customers. And yes, obviously the same for more startups.

@liandy213 great to hear! :)
