YOU. MADE. EXACTLY. WHAT. I. WAS. LOOKING. FOR. Thanks a lot for bringing all this information together. This will inspire me to come up with even more unique strategies to grow my userbase.

This is a great compilation of stories on how to get first users. It's good to see how Paypal, Stripe & Co. started, what they have done and that it's possible. I've been through several startups on the page and it is inspiring, confirming, and makes me smile because of the memories of earlier versions of some services. And the UI is fine. It makes fun to discover new stories just by scrolling down.

I love this. I'm posting this to my private group for our Free PR Bootcamp on earned.co - really cool to see that quite a few used PR to get early traction. Nice work
