Hello Product Hunt 👋, So excited to be releasing first 1000 today. First 1000 at its core is a weekly newsletter about how companies got their first 1000 customers. How did companies get from 0->0.25. Each week we cover a new company, and try to uncover a new strategy/hustle/hack that those founders have leveraged to get the wheels going. To give you a little taste, here are some of the stories we covered Slice -> and how its founder turned his company into a fax-orders generation machine to sign his first pizzerias Spotify->and how they managed to create the “illusion” of a better product to win early customers. Bloomberg->and how he made morning coffee runs to land his first enterprise client. Zumper ->and how they developed a tool to generate leads from their competitors. Stitch Fix -> and how they launched their company without a landing page we even a teardown on Product Hunt 😉. I have some FANTASTIC INTERVIEWS lined up for the month of April and can't wait to have you all onboard. Hit me up with any questions

Finding the first 1000 customers is an important, under-reported part of the startup journey to which Ali has devoted considerable thought. The result is this tactical, easy-to-read knowledge base. Bravo Ali!

@willy_mitch Thank you Will <3
Vas
Great idea! Do you get your insights only from interviewing the founders? Or from books etc.? Or a mixture of both, perhaps?
Ali AbouelAtta
Maker
@vasgo its a mix of all three. For example the Bloomberg issue, I read his three biography books to put it together. Airbnb, Uber, Doordash was very research intensive. Tara, Pageflows and DoNotPay were interviews...

This is awesome, really helpful, especially to product designers to have one central place where case studies are collected! Congrats!

Jonathan Libov
I’m a long-time reader and fan @ali_abou_el_atta. So much so that I was recently toying with the idea of commissioning you to research the company/product I’m trying to displace with my own. have you considered this as part of the business model?

This is huge as the first 1,000 customers is the hardest by far!
