Edgar Magaña

Hola, soy 𝙳̶𝚘̶𝚛̶𝚊̶ Edgar! 17 years old. Half-Salvadorean, half-Honduran. Born and raised in a little 3rd world country called Belize. Mama didn't raise a farmer, a construction worker, or a 9-5er. These Hispanic hands were meant for entrepreneurship. I taught myself to code at 14. Started designing a year after that. Not because someone told me to but because I couldn't stand not being in control of my time. I've tried a lot of things: Construction worker → retired Twitter philosopher → failed Copywriting Agency → failed Wheelchair assistant → still part-time Design Agency → $500 by month 11. I'm actually going to stick to this one. Right now I'm in college, working part-time, and building the agency in whatever time is left. Most people my age are partying, doing drugs and still figuring out what they want to do with their life. I already know. Working toward $10k/m for now. The real goal is to create generational wealth so that my family can chase purpose & not a paycheck. If you're a founder who's building from the bottom up, we'll get along. Follow to stay updated on my journey. 💙

@abhaychebium Nice UX

consumer app founders massively underestimate how much conversion rate actually matters. improving conversions > improving downloads I pushed out ONE thing to our onboarding that increased our conversion rate from 4% to 12%. All I did was replace the tedious boring, question-heavy onboarding with a personalized AI voice guide that actually talks the user through the problem and the solution. Personalization with low friction. This is hands-down the easiest product hack I’ve found to instantly boost conversions. gonna tighten the paywall design + placements (slacking on this). aiming to push conversions to 15%+.

@abhaychebium @interaction Yoo thanks for introducing this to me. Looks epic

named my @interaction donna…

"I'm at my limit" emotional or claude?

@fin465 You must be a cracked salesman w/those numbers

Now that we’re done at YCombinator, we’re revealing how we went from 0 → $10k MRR in our first 30 days, using only ONE channel (step by step). We spent less than $100 and didn’t have any paid ads, SEO, waitlist, or content marketing. Instead, we sent 50-75 highly targeted cold emails a day. Cold email is the most underrated channel because it's hard to get right, but if you figure it out you can sell ANY B2B product. Here's what we did from start to finish: STEP 1: Build an ultra‑specific customer profile at both company and person level. If you do this right, you can mess everything else up and still succeed. The goal here is to create such a perfect customer, that if they heard about your solution they would have no choice but to say "tell me more". Step 2: Build your list After you create this customer profile, find the companies that meet this criteria. Find 30–50 target companies on LinkedIn, then grab decision‑maker emails via Apollo/Wiza. STEP 3: Writing a killer email I used to run an outbound email agency and we'd send 50k+ emails/month to book b2b sales calls via cold email. Here are the basic principles of cold email writing that I always use: -Keep it 5-8 sentences. 70%+ of emails are read on mobile, so make sure they get most of it from that screen view. - Never write more than 2 sentences without breaking up the lines. People skim, and that’s the best way to keep their attention - DO NOT talk about your product’s features. - Instead, talk about the person, their company, and their pain points. STEP 4: The call I took 493 sales calls in Origami’s first 3 months. Here's what I learned: The 2 biggest goals for this call are - Figuring out the customer’s problems - Getting the customer excited about your solution Unless you already have PMF, it doesn't matter if you have a full built product. You still need to spend 90%+ of your time figuring out what the customer actually needs. In the early stages, you can even offer a full refund if they aren’t satisfied to give them maximum confidence and get your first few deals over the line. STEP 5: Closing/After Congrats! You cracked cold email. This was the exact approach we used at Origami to get our first $10k MRR, and the highest converting outbound approach I’ve seen when I ran my agency. I posted the stats in my prior tweets, but in our first 40 days we sent 3119 emails (~77 per day) and got a 5.3% response rate, resulting in demos with 64 founders at companies within our ICP. This resulted in ~$22k new MRR by the time our sales for all of these calls had closed. The best part is that once you nail this process, you can automate it. We've got our Origami AI Agents (@origamichat) finding new customers 24/7, which frees us up to explore new channels and focus on scaling. CONCLUSION This is a very short version of my guide. The full guide I posted on X last year (@fin465) hit 800k impressions and 10k+ bookmarks. If you want me to DM it you, comment GUIDE.

@cash_kavi Yall are destroying moats

Putting aside covid/monetary policy, the last ~15 years have been characterized by the "sharing economy" (Airbnb/Uber/etc) in the 2010s and the "influencer economy" (Mr. Beast/Emma Chamberlain/etc) in the early 2020s. Both of these represented a trend of technology enabling individuals to have more creativity, flexibility, and independence in economic opportunities. I think we're at the very start of the next iteration - the "agentic economy". More than ever before individuals can get infinite leverage for communication. The stories of HeyGen helping build real businesses with real value are constant.

@elieln_ Insane growth

We grew Submagic from 0 to $1M ARR in 3 months. Here's the 3 growth hacks we used at the launch 🚀 1. Influencer Marketing This is our best acquisition channel. We collaborate with influencers on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok & LinkedIn. Leveraging communities of influencers is powerful because it helps us reach engaged audiences who trust their recommendations. First, we find the best influencers who create content for our ICP and contact them by email. Then, we ask them to make dedicated videos about the product (this works better than integrations). For compensation, we offer a fixed payment + 30% commission on sales through our affiliate program. Our product converts well, so many influencers end up promoting it on their own. Not every collaboration is a success (in fact, 80% fail). But out of 10 collaborations, 2 successful ones can offset the 8 failures. When we have successful collaborations, we book the creators for several months. 2. Paid Ads → Google Ads: we use Search ads targeting specific keywords. → Facebook Ads: we mainly use videos created by our Influencers (we test ~15 creatives per month). Content that performs well organically is more likely to succeed as an ad. Since we are bootstrapped, we spend on ads profitably with a CAC:LTV ratio of 1:3. Besides creatives, the best way to reduce CAC is by improving the product, funnel, and offer. - Optimize the signup rate on the LP - Optimize the product’s conversion rate - Maximize the product’s retention (to increase LTV) Then the scaling phase can begin. I wouldn’t recommend a new SaaS to start marketing with ads. It's hard to be profitable, ads should just complement a solid organic strategy. 3. Short-Form Content We use Submagic to create short-form content that promotes Submagic, simply. SFC is the simplest way to bring in thousands of leads in a short time. What’s amazing is that anyone can get millions of views even without followers. Platform algorithms have changed, making it possible for anyone to go viral. At the start of Submagic, we posted a few TikToks that went viral, got millions of views, and brought in hundreds of customers. When we have a viral video, our Google Search Console searches spike dramatically, it's crazy. New SaaS founders should start by creating short-form content to promote their products. It's easy, free, and you can share the same videos across all platforms for maximum reach. That’s a wrap on our main acquisition channels, we also do SEO (Blogs, Programmatic & Free Tools). I believe that the product makes up 80% of marketing. Amazing product + good marketing strategy = success 💰 Hope you enjoyed this post - I’ve tried to keep this simple (because I could talk about our marketing for hours). If you found this helpful, feel free to share it with your SaaS Friends. Let’s go 🚀

@RetentionAdam What, that's epic man🔥

In 2008, Lehman Brothers collapsed, and my job got regulated out of existence with it. In 2025, I hit $25M ARR with no VC funding and a team of under 35. I’m Adam, and this is my story of how I went from Wall Street finance to Bootstrapping multiple SaaS companies:

@nils100km Niceee

this thing booked 150+ sales opps for our AEs already its outperfoming human GTM engineers

@itsalexvacca How did you do it?

One of our agency clients was stuck at ~$30K/month for months. Every time they added new clients, something broke on the other side. They didn't need more leads. They needed operations that didn't collapse under weight. We fixed the fulfillment side first. They went from $30K to $50K/month without doubling their client count. Most agencies think scaling means more revenue. It actually means handling more revenue without everything falling apart.

@TheLucasGab WWW

Last month, Youdji hit $4,000,000 ARR. no funding. 2 people (my cousin and me). and no, we’re not a SaaS or an AI company 🧵 here’s how we got there ↓
