Starting a business
Looking for someone who launched a niche social product without paid ads
What I’m trying to do
Get first wave of engaged users to a community-style product (Thruwise).
My situation
0 users at launch. Product targets indie makers and solo founders with specific business problems.
What I’ve already tried
One launch tweet, no other distribution yet.
The experience I’m looking for
Someone who launched a community or social platform from zero without ads — Indie Hackers, Polywork, Read.cv, smaller niche communities.
What I’d like to learn
Real account of weeks 1-4 — what to do, what to avoid.
What I need help with
Whether early growth should be content-led (writing) or community-led (DMs to specific founders).
