[ The real problem ]

Anyone can build now. Almost no one can get users.

AI shipped your product in a weekend. It will not ship you a single customer. Building stopped being the hard part. Getting users is the wall, and the flood of AI-built apps made it taller.

You launch into silence.
Show HN, a Product Hunt page, a tweet, then nothing. The product works. No one is looking, and views do not pay.

Everyone shipped it.
AI made building nearly free, so ten people launch your idea by Friday. Attention is the scarce thing now.

The advice fits someone else.
Every "just do X" worked for one founder, one product, one moment. Copy it blind and it flops for you.

Nobody shares the move that actually worked, because every winner ran a different one. We gathered thousands of them from founders who got users, then surface the few that fit your product. That is the execution AI can’t give you.

[ FAQ ]

Questions, answered

Can't I just find all this myself?
The raw stories are out there, scattered across hundreds of posts, videos and podcasts, most of it undated and contradictory. We did the reading. Every tactic is distilled into a do-this-now move, grouped by channel and product type, and linked back to the founder who actually ran it. You're paying to skip the 200 open tabs, not for secret information.
Is this guru or course stuff?
The opposite. No income screenshots, no “10k MRR in 30 days”, no upsell ladder. Every tactic points to a real founder's write-up, podcast or video so you can check it yourself. If we can't link a source, it isn't in here.
One payment, what's the catch?
None. It's a one-time purchase: $9 for the full 3,000+ tactic library, or $29 to also unlock the AI playbook. No subscription, no upsells, ever, and new tactics are added every week at no extra cost.
What if my product isn't SaaS?
Filter by product type. B2B SaaS, dev tools, consumer apps, newsletters, marketplaces, e-commerce, agencies and info products are all covered, and you only see the tactics that fit what you're building.
How often is it updated?
We add new founder tactics every week as we work through fresh interviews and podcasts. That means every future tactic is included at no extra cost.
Can I see it first?
The previews here and across the site are the sample: real tactic titles, what each one is, and its sources. The step-by-step is what you pay for. Access is instant, so all sales are final. Use the previews to decide before you buy.
