Amazing! This looks like it would be brilliant for customer support and answering repetitive questions. Can you feed it custom knowledge from a knowledge base?

What questions should founders who find themselves in the infamous "Startups Founders Pit of Despair" be asking themselves to discover whether their pit is bottomless or not?

Hootsuite is great in my experience. And amazing customer support - which I find goes a long way!

Awesome to hear! I'd love to get some advice on searching for people in relevant areas on Twitter. At Uppr we're building a sales enablement tool, and we've only done a tiny amount on Twitter. Is Twitter the kind of place we'd be able to reach sales professionals? And what would you search for / what would you look for? I'd love to have a chat if you can share some advice!

I think it's appropriate to hire someone to help when the tasks you need assistance with are outside your skill set, are time-consuming, or require specialized expertise that you don't have! If you have the financial means to hire someone, and the tasks are important to your personal or professional goals, it can be a great investment! You'll need to weigh the cost of hiring someone against...

We chose a slightly saturated pink/red. I'll be honest, we didn't spend a lot of time considering it! We just kinda liked the color and built a bit of a color scheme around it. Consistent branding was the most important thing for us right now. We'll be looking to upgrade our brand image a bit in the near future though! I'd love any feedback for improvements in the near term.

Uppr - Make your sales team have superhuman-level knowledge in their calls. Uppr presents sales pros with info relevant to their conversation in real-time.

Awesome! Love the concept. Our startup is Uppr - the real time knowledge assistant for sales pros. We use speech-to-text tech to pick up on keywords used in sales calls, and then trigger relevant product knowledge/best practices to pop up in front of the sales rep in real-time! We've just finished our MVP and are just starting to produce content on socials + onboard our early users 🙌

It's super difficult to know 100%. There isn't a universal answer. Generally, advice from Google is that as long as you are writing useful content that is clearly linked to your focus topic, and are regularly updating your website and getting traffic, you'll eventually start climbing. You can use tools like https://seorch.eu/ to give you some actionable guidance for some specific mechanisms...

It's inevitable the craze will fade as it becomes normalized and similar products come out (like Google's Bard). But I'm pretty confident the value-add of the tech is here to stay! I've been using ChatGPT and GPT3 since they came out, and am still using it today to help guide me with helpful content writing.

Awesome! Over what period did you send your initial outreach over LinkedIn? I've been experimenting with it a lil lately, but don't want to get my profile flagged for spam! I read that it's one risk of this method (but it could also just be tales from low-quality untargeted mass outreach campaigns). Thanks for sharing!!

Miro. We do so much collab work on Miro. Such a great tool to get thoughts down on to digital "paper", visually map them out thoroughly, and build upon them over time! We draft just about everything we do on Miro!

From the research we did, paid LinkedIn marketing is only valuable if you can afford to do highly targeted remarketing. Ie, being certain you can target the same person many times with the same ad. Remarketing has a significantly high ROI if you can pull it off. But users often need to see the same advertisement 5+ times (often more) before they will trust it. ... Of course it depends on what...

It's so easy to get tunnel-vision as a founder. Every bit of early feedback from target users is so valuable!

Just launched!

Find that one thing that you / your team can do better than anyone else, and make a big deal out of it.

Finding a tech co-founder is really hard right now. I know a few people who found them via accelerator programs. Some are skeptical of this kind of program, but they are good at getting a lot of people who want to build a startup in the same room. Our tech co-founder was a long-time friend of mine. I sent him a message asking for advice on how to build something, and instead of advice he just...

So neat! This is worthy of a bookmark for sure! Congrats on your launch
