Struggling to get your first customers…? Might be time for Startup School

One of my favorite things about the startup community is founders who take the time to give back by sharing their insights and advice. Sometimes, that comes in the form of one-on-one mentorship. Other times, it’s even better to get two founders talking to one another to draw out the most valuable details. That’s why I’m psyched to see Startup School taking the latter tactic — exploring how to get your first customers.

Even better…? It’s free.

So who are the founders sharing their expertise?

Pat Cheung is the founder of Fanlist. He’ll share details on how he landed his first 50 customers through a tradeshow. He’ll walk through all the tactics he used to sponsor a tradeshow booth, what went well, what didn’t, and how he did it on a budget…with a full breakdown of costs.

Andreeas Trattner is the founder of reachtools. Andreeas will speak on his journey in acquiring initial users as a bootstrapper. He will cover leveraging his network, utilizing Google Ads, and his strategy for creating a direct mail campaign in 2024, as well as the limitations of these approaches.

The event takes place Friday, August 2, 2024 at 10:00AM. It will be hosted at Kiln.
