Warm the Account for Weeks Before You Pitch
Warm the Account for Weeks Before You Pitch is a reddit & forums tactic for getting your first users: Spend several weeks purely participating and commenting in a subreddit with zero brand mention to build karma and credibility, then make a single transparent founder post.
It's a strong fit for teams of almost any kind, and works especially well for founders willing to invest 4-6 weeks. As a reddit & forums play, plan for high effort and expect results to build gradually over time, all grounded in 1 linked primary source.
