if it's non-social related product, profile is not important. Perhaps later stage yes, but for early stage company, not really

your product’s social profile is like its public face—it’s how people connect with and relate to your brand. So yes, investing in a strong social profile is not just important, it’s essential!

Definitely! It gives your product a voice and makes it easy for people to find and connect with you.
um It’s where you can share updates, answer questions, and build trust with your audience + helps to create a community that supports your product.

TBH, when I am going to purchase something from you, I want to know who you are and whether you are trustworthy. I do not give money to whoever :)
I only set one up when I need to run a social media ad campaign. For me, it’s more of a tool to support marketing efforts.

@ahmer_saud Yeah, that's my rationale for setting up a separate account for the app. I may run Meta ads at some point!
I think it depends on the product. For B2C products, esp in the consumer social/content space, having a social presence from early on is pretty important for brand-building, attracting users, getting feedback, etc. But for B2B/SaaS, probably less crucial in the beginning when you're focused on nailing product-market fit. Tho building in public on social media is getting popular for B2B too. I guess it comes down to where your target users/customers hang out online and if social engagement is core to your user journey & growth strategy from day 1.
Depends on the product. For B2B SaaS, having a founder's profile to build credibility is important, especially in early stage when you need to establish trust. But for consumer apps, product is king and the team can stay behind the scenes initially until you have strong traction.
Having social profiles for your product isn't optional anymore - it's essential! It's where most people check out brands before buying and share their experiences. It builds trust, lets you talk directly with customers, and spreads the word organically. Plus, all that social buzz can lead to better brand visibility and even help with SEO through increased mentions and backlinks.
It might seem that it's optional in the early days. But since it's the early stage, it's more crucial to gather feedback and social proof from your ideal audience.
