We just had our first big launch party with 250+ppl people stopping by, THANK YOU everyone that came to support! ❤️
When
@NeilRaina and I went through YC a few yrs ago,
@patrickc came to speak and one of the things that stuck with us is just how intense their early team was about getting new users set up successfully. That technique subsequently got called a 'Collison Installation' and the idea is that instead of passively asking "Will you try this beta?" over email, you meet you users where they are IRL, pull them aside, and get them set up on the spot.
That's exactly what we did. At the party,
@ViviennexChen,
@NeilRaina, Kevin Foley, and others on the team cold approached folks, pulled them aside, and we built some great apps together. Not surprisingly, the feedback was stellar; much better than what you get over an email exchange.
