She said YES For the last 6 months Senja's revenue has been stuck at $1,000,000 ARR I knew I needed to hire a full-time marketer but didn't know what type I interviewed growth hackers, AI orchestrators and channel experts But I eventually decided to try something different - to find a customer-centred growth marketer Someone to do things that don't scale Like webinars, sending gifts, partnerships, grabbing a coffee and taking calls A full-time professional yapper @startupwithana is that person and she started this week Welcome to Senja!

Am being naive? Do we all need to ship 24/7 or get left behind ?

It feels like an arms race Founders are shipping 100x a day and scaling at speeds never seen before But building a business is a marathon not a sprint You need to respect your body's energy and season, rather than overriding the signals it's sending Stop watching what everyone else is doing and spend more time delivering a better experience for your users And get well soon @robj3d3 enjoy some rest

This is your annual reminder to optimize your Calendly

@tibo_maker The only problem is none of the post is true

they said no to $2.5M in VC money for their 6 month old saas I would've done the same I can't say this enough: VC math and saas math are two different games. a fund needs you to swing for a billion or die trying a good saas business just needs happy customers paying every month most founders confuse the two and sign up for the wrong game this reddit story is a perfect example - tiny team, no full-time hires, and in 6 months they built one of the craziest organic growth stories I've seen 1200+ paying customers, 150k monthly visitors, MRR closing in on $50k. a VC saw it, loved it, offered $2.5m with a fast wire they rightly said no, and their logic was great too the term sheet had a liquidation preference. if things go wrong, investors get paid back first and founders keep the wreckage I get it, but the fund had nothing strategic to offer either no client intros, no distribution, no marketing muscle - just money and monthly check-ins and the biggest thing is their growth doesn't require capital they got here with almost no paid channels. LinkedIn and SEO did all the work you can't wire $2.5m into organic channels and make them compound faster money buys paid acquisition and headcount, and they needed neither see, to be fair, raising makes sense for things like hardware, long R&D cycles, markets where whoever scales first wins capital is the product there but a profitable saas growing 40-60% a month on organic channels is not that. raising there doesn't buy growth, it buys a boss if your customers are already funding you, you don't need a VC to do it

@stripe Hey, can you let coupons target prices, not just products? This would let us create coupons like "20% off, annual plan only" without the minimum-amount workaround. We're building coupon tooling on your API and this is literally the only gap we keep hitting.

@robj3d3 @RaduNemerenco @tibo_maker Make your moat your understanding of the ICP and the problem

@RaduNemerenco @tibo_maker Our moat is our data and our brand. That can't be vibecoded in a weekend fortunately!

"Why is SuperX different from [competitor]?" Both @tibo_maker and I spent 2 years building it from our own wins and failures on X. They spent a weekend cloning it. That's the difference.

We've generated over $220,000 from affiliates But we need a new affiliate software to take it to $1,000,000 Who should we try?

@steventey @anthonyriera Ah okay, yes this "convert" was where I gave up last time

After you ask a question on dub.co/support, you can click on "Convert to support ticket" and it'll prompt you to create a support ticket 👇 As for the migration process, it should be relatively straightforward with our migration tool (d.to/firstpromoter), but feel free to DM me if you have any specific questions about it!

Where would I create a normal support ticket? I don't remember this option and I remember your AI support being extremely painful to use at a critical moment. I do appreciate you being responsive here but the issue is beginning a migration process and you're no longer available or responsive.

Sorry about the duplicate cancellation feedback emails – we recently fixed that bug, so it shouldn't be happening anymore. As for AI support, we do use AI to field simpler questions, but you do have the option to create a support ticket if you still need help: x.com/steventey/stat… Still very much happy to help here – feel free to DM me / send me an email steven[at]dub.​co and I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have about the migration process 💪

No I am referring to this I did try your tool but got blocked immediately and your in-app support was AI and no help I then replied to your automated cancellation email (which for some reason I received 3 times) and didn't hear back (and did not expect to) The email you shared was from '25 when you did offer me a call and I didn't follow up, but does not relate to my tweet

Hey Olly! I just checked our support thread and it looks like I personally responded to all your questions (no AI in the email thread) and also offered to jump on a call with you, but never got a response at the end. If you’re still interested in switching to Dub, feel free to DM me and I’d be happy to chat!

@anthonyriera Why is that? I joined, had an issue, and immediately went to AI support which was useless and left me blocked

@helloitsolly Nothing comes close to dub.co :)

@ArnaudBelingaCX Exactly, that whole thing was a disaster too Are you still with them? What do you think of @dubdotco?

@helloitsolly Took me 1 year to migrate to V2, I feel you haha

@jameschambers Sorry what do you mean?

@helloitsolly Also on the blurred out provider here, keen to see recommendations

@ArnaudBelingaCX They're nice folks but the product UX is terrible As well as that, payouts are a mess It feels like its 10 years behind the market

@helloitsolly Tolt, everyone is using that now Why first promoter is no longer a fit for you mate?

Important for us: Global payouts Ability to edit and brand the "affiliate" area Integrations with ESPs

@sidyadav I am a member of the microconf community which has no circle branding or account switcher anywhere I changed my password in a totally unrelated Circle community and it updated my microconf password This seems extremely odd to me

@helloitsolly More than half our communities are hosted on a *circle.so domain. When you signing up to your second community, you get an email saying you’ve been added with your Circle account and a switcher appears next to both so you can switch between them.

@sidyadav Are you aware that when changing a password at circle.so it updates the user's password for all whitelabel communities too?

@sidyadav But the white label communities have no branding or connection to circle, so how would an end user know that they were updating a shared account password?

@helloitsolly Yes, been like that from day one For communities without SSO, your account with Circle is one shared account across all your communities.
