@lorraemarketing sounds good, feel free to connect with @bybaileeho on this tyty!

@dillonmendes_ Hey Dillon! Do you need creators to scale your brand organically? Run a creator academy and would love to set you up with some of our best for free. Sent you a DM

@Joey_Walker82 the hardest part is marketing and getting attention these days. i have nothing to sell anyone (except our customers aha). happy to help if needed.

I see countless new apps being launched every day. The chance of your one being successful is incredibly slim. A lot of guys posting how there app makes 50k month are almost always trying to sell you something. Remember that..

@SammyTourani Come through luma.com/4l6qduyl

What Toronto Tech Week events should I attend?

@ChukaClem 👀👀

@dillonmendes_ I saw some of your UGC on TikTok, very creative and had a lot of viral reels. Great job. That’s the secret sauce.

@vazuzu_varun follow along, sharing the sauce soon

@dillonmendes_ would be rly rly cool to see how you did it!

@hussainim_ hired and trained college students, no influencers

@dillonmendes_ Bru I heard you had like 100 influencers

@elvissun thanks man - appreciate it!

@dillonmendes_ love to see this - I remember randomly seeing your marketing on tiktok couple weeks ago, it was really well done

@kovalsky_stas ugc

@dillonmendes_ the “no founder-led marketing” part is honestly the craziest signal here. curious what distribution channel scaled hard enough to carry this kind of growth?

@saifgeeky ugc- follow along, we’re sharing all the sauce here

@dillonmendes_ $3M in 7 months with no VC is genuinely impressive. What channel worked best for you?

@ramitkoul yeah the whole team has been pretty silent…you’ll start seeing a bunch of content from us soon.

@dillonmendes_ 0 to $3M without founder-led marketing is the part I want unpacked. that’s not normal. well done!! 👏🏻

@vrustomji yeah someone definitely should start a community…maybe that someone is you?

@dillonmendes_ Can we please start a gc for Canadian founders building consumer apps, there is so much to learn from people like yourself!!

enroute to MAU in Vegas. any app founders going? let’s connect.

@buildwtim Aha not exactly. We’re gonna be sharing the exact playbook of how we were able to do this very soon!

@dillonmendes_ dang, so you basically skipped the internet and just printed cash? must've missed that memo :p

@bybaileeho + @GindinMike shipping product and @_aaronpaul25 leading the team

@bybaileeho You, Riyaj, Brit, Eric, Brad…straight killing it w UGC & ads

@_aaronpaul25 Indeed boss, indeed 🫡
