from looking at the website it seems like a guy's passion project that the VCs are funding as lead-gen/marketing, like Indie Hackers getting bought by Stripe.
IMO you're already killing it with your execution, I don't see what you think you'd get from something like that.
Thanks! Yeah, I don't have a problem with execution, just distribution at the moment given I have ~350 X followers (active) and ~1.5k LinkedIn (most of them are inactive or recruiters that don't want to buy anything, my engagement on X is similar with ~1/4 the followers).
I'm basically only considering it for additional eyeballs on my products - on top of the usual cold emailing and outreach I'm doing myself ofc.
I feel like it won't attract the kinds of eyeballs you're interested in, but idk. I think it's interesting that even Pieter with his huge following seems to be basically largely reliant on a good domain and jumping on a trend to get traction. Like, I don't get the sense that he's really successful based on his following the way someone like Mr. Beast is.
Also are you working from a coworking space? I'm thinking of going up to Bangkok to check it out.
Right, not super convinced it'll bring any useful attention either. Having a useful product related to current trends is definitely more important, although it can't hurt to have followers and such
The reason I say that is because people tend to buy the founder and not the product sometimes. A few of my products made sales because people simply wanted to support me
And yeah, I work out of coworking spaces roughly 3 out of 5 weekdays. My favorite so far is True Digital Park followed by Paper Plane Project, meeting a WIPer at PPP tomorrow actually. Feel free to stop by if you're in town
