We made $188,700 MRR with Zernio in June 2026. One product. One infrastructure layer. ⭐ Old pricing clients: $122K ⭐ New pricing clients: $66.7K +16.2K new signups +2K new paying customers MRR by country 🇺🇸 United States - $23.6K (36%) 🇩🇪 Germany - $4.9K 🇧🇷 Brazil - $4.8K The top 3 are carrying it, but the long tail across 107 countries is growing fast. Builders in the US, Germany, and Brazil... we’re making it easier for you to ship social features without the integration tax. Me + 6 teammates + AI turning painful multi-platform headaches into one clean API. Keep building! 🚀

@dirty_digs Have you checked out @zernio ?

Who's building the social media aggregation layer? Build a community and let your users access it from any platform they want.

@0xAbhiP Nobody told you about Zernio?! Give me the chance to give you free credit so you can try our tool 🫡

We spend heavily on distribution. For Reddit, that meant building and maintaining 100+ established accounts before scaling the service. The network is the infrastructure. Research, writing, deployment, and reporting turn it into distribution.

¿Qué opción de pricing veis que tiene más sentido?

What's the biggest pain you find when managing social media? Drop comments below and I will read all of them 🫡

Completely agree: organic social + paid ads is an absolute rocket ship for founders. The missing piece most teams struggle with? Executing it reliably at scale across platforms. That’s exactly where Zernio shines: one API so you can publish, engage, analyze, and boost (ads) without building and maintaining 15 different integrations. You focus on the message and the strategy. We handle the infrastructure so you can actually ship. Organic + Paid becomes 10× easier when this happens.

@ishverduzco Here!!! I am the Product Evangelist at Zernio - just spreading the word about our tool. Would really like to talk with you and give you some credits to try it :)

I'm just curious... Who in my network does social/content? Would be good to know for future opportunities, private events, dinners, etc.

If I had to restart @ElevenLabs GTM from scratch, these are the things that I would change 🖊️ - Hire quicker. I was alone selling for the first 9 months because I believed we didn't have PMF. Main reasons: the AI tourist external mantra of 2023, and the uphill battle convincing everyone to hire more GTM (Sales development, Sales, Customer Success) because we were still mostly PLG / self-service. The hiring constraint lasted until earlier this year when we boosted our team to meet demand. - Build an enablement team earlier. Sales enablement has such an important role in an org, and we mostly think about it when we hire a lot of people. The reality is that we need Enablement earlier due to the speed of product iteration. - Open more markets. The results from Uber v Lyft operating models played a key role in deciding to open markets early, but I would triple down on it if we were to start over. - Have more big bets. Similar to VCs, you only need 1 big bet to work in order to generate Alpha. We could have executed more big bets if we had had a single person owning & iterating on them. Former successful founder profile with drive and speed. - Be more vocal about product ROI & our success. People buy from people, and companies buy based on success & ROI. In AI, we've all been slow showing ROI. This should be the key number when you start a conversation. - Hire senior sellers. In startups, we've been told that culture is everything and someone with +25y experience may struggle to fit in. This is bullshit. The experience, connections and drive +25y sellers bring is crazy. We have a bunch today, but I would hire many more earlier. - Reduce cash commissions and replace them with more equity. Cash is king, but Equity is queen. Queens also rule countries, so why not make Equity the dominant one in GTM? - Open more offices. We are a remote-first company, but our customers are everywhere, and employees want to meet each other. I would open more offices to be embedded in markets quicker. - Fun brand. Brand perception is 33% of the work. Building a fun brand adds quickly. - Outbounds outbounds outbounds. We waited too long to migrate to an Outbound organisation. I would do it from day 1 now. - Pipeline construction with more whales. The ideal pipeline needs to have a combo of segments to reduce risk, improve results and provide liquidity. We waited too long to pitch & bring whales. - Not all deals are good deals. We, sellers, want to close a lot of ARR, but it is important to split early on between good vs bad deals. Thank you to Tomasz Gmur for asking how I would do GTM again!

@danniiigt @beehiiv Calmaaa! En nada sale a la luz y va a ver la leche. Ya tengo experiencia de 2 años escribiendo una newsletter en moralesbasics.substack.com y espero que esta consiga la mitad de éxito que la de mi proyecto.

@charleslayerr @beehiiv Abre una waitlist!!

Estoy montando una newsletter en @beehiiv muy guapa para hablar sobre distribución, start ups, el panorama en España, etc.

@thecogitobrief @beehiiv Will publish here once I drop. Really really soon 👀

@charleslayerr @beehiiv This is awesome man, great work!

Me parece una idea clave para formar equipo! No sé si trabajáis todos en remoto, pero en @zernio organizamos un offsite la semana pasada en la Costa Brava y fue una pasada estar todos juntos ahí compartiendo unos días. Te das cuenta de que se respira un vibe distinto - y muy positivo - que enriquece y recarga la energía de todos. A tope!

he alquilado esta casa durante 21 días para trabajar con mi equipo en nuestra aplicación @unrespiro_app

@guirao_pau @zernio 🦍🐐🦍🐐

We just shipped a massive upgrade to the @zernio docs! If you build using our API, your experience just get 10x better. Here are just a few things: - Build a Platform — multi-tenant recipes for publishing, analytics & inbox - Architecture diagrams on every guide - Exact per-country rates for numbers, calls & SMS - Glossary, bigger type, cleaner layout - New categories for better readability Go check it out!

@sugarjammi @twilio @zernio 🥷🏻

hello are there any @twilio alternatives (texting dev services) please

@adilmania @paletmiki would be a great option 🫡

🚨 looking for 1 last founder and 1 last investor for this week's episode in SF. who's down?

Just added my Pinterest bulk of pictures to the app. And now I need to learn how to create good slideshows. In the end, this is useful to generate volume and scale content. Once you get 4-5 formats the workflow is easy since you forget about it.

Creo que está sabiendo explotar nichos que otras plataformas (ie. Substack) no lo están sabiendo hacer. En este caso, al enfocarme más en startups/tech, tiene más sentido hacerlo en beehiiv. Para mi proyecto Morales Basics, estoy basado en Substack porque el sector moda y lifestyle tiene mucha más cabida aquí - al menos hasta ahora.

@charleslayerr @beehiiv porque en beehiiv Carlos?

Just shipped two major improvements at @zernio ! - New usage page 📈 - New pricing page 💵 We want to keep improving our users experience and giving them clarity on what are they going to get billed on and providing them the tools to quickly understand that, is our MAIN priority. Now every cent you spend at @zernio is updated realtime and correctly tagged by action, product, user and much more!

People in the beach meanwhile we are delivering. We are not the same 🥷🏻

@coding_guille @beehiiv No - totalmente gratis!

@charleslayerr @beehiiv Cuando habláis de newsletters hablais de contenido de pago?
