talent really is the only moat


How we hacked TikTok to scale our first consumer app to 12k users and $6k MRR in a single month. Last month, me and my team wanted to try something new and have some fun, so we decided to launch an app on the App Store. Keep in mind we never launched a B2C product before. We thought this would be a small project we could launch in under a week, and have fun marketing it. We created an MVP in a few weeks and started scaling it immediately via organic content on TikTok. This was no ordinary strategy, we set up a team of 5 people to scale content across many different profiles. The initial thesis was, could we take a working product from the US and adapt it to the European market? So we focused all our efforts on a single EU market, and it turned out we were right. A month after the launch we're at 12k users, growing at a rate of 200% per week, without any sign of stopping anytime soon. Now we're 100% focused on making it a killer product, and once that's done we'll start the expansion into other major EU markets. Like this if you want me to break down the TikTok strategy that we used and how we plan to hit 1M users by the end of the year.
