That's an amazing achievement congrats! Is there anything you would do differently next time?
Sandro Okropiridze
@zmiro Thank you. Even though we got #1 of the week, we were not prepared and realized in the middle of the week that it was possible. Should have week in mind as well and planned. At least to use the traffic you get on your website

Sandro, how many members of the team did active messaging on the day? Did you use any tools?
Sandro Okropiridze
@profy17 Mostly 3 of us were actively involved. No tools, just natural, personalized approach. Also technical team has to be active as well, there will be some bugs that new users will find and need to fix them up asap.

Congratulations 👏 How did you prepare for your launch?
Sandro Okropiridze
@igor_botvinyev We scheduled the launch and got teaser banner with 'Notify me'. I contacted PH people on LinkedIn and asked them to follow our launch. And also made many connections with PH people on LinkedIn. Started around 2 months before the launch
That is a milestone. Congrats Sandro. Did you do any paid promotions?
Sandro Okropiridze
@omnathpp Thanks Omnath, basically not. We had an ad running on Twitter. Total spend $450 during 2 weeks of August

Did you track conversion rates for direct outreach? For instance, how many 'cold contacts' did you reach out to?
Sandro Okropiridze
@supademo_joe We didn't track, just as much as we could do. But first we started with creating a Teaser and asking people to follow us "Notify me" we had up to 250 followers there when we launched.

How did you get started with Beta users before your launch? Or did you go straight into launch mode? Congrats on the launch btw.
Sandro Okropiridze
@amved Thanks Amar, We've been building in public, access was always open. We hosted events and were active on social media more or less. When we launched here 'beta' tags were still active on pricing cards. Just a few days ago we removed them.

@olena_bomko 1. LinkdIn, Facebook groups 2. Almost 2 months we were preparing 3. You will get customer sign ups every 5 second or so, for whole day, we got 2000+ and still continues. Apart of that, lots of more benefits, investors, scouts will contact you, everywhere you send a pitch deck these badges give you credibility. You will be invited on podcasts and startup events

We just launched Kypso and we are in a bit of a plateau: where do you think we should post in order to get things going? I tried starting some discussions here but none were successful.
Sandro Okropiridze
@adamgold7 Join and post in Facebook groups, like 'SaaS Warriors', Join Whatsapp groups like 'Invincible product hunters'. Also other startup groups that you know, accelerator groups

Launching soon!
Congratulations, Sandro! Story AI sounds very promising. We're gearing up to launch ExoCoding soon, and it would be wonderful if we could reach the top too! One question: Of all the actions you've taken, which one do you feel brought you the most return? Thanks!
