Matt Quinn has been on a mission to be a 10x better founder by meeting incredible founders who have gone before him to get an answer to the question: How did you get your first 1000....?
Your first 1000 customers, sign ups, fans, users, clicks, dollars invested.
I've learned 2 things: (1) No 2 companies are the same (2) What got them here, won't get you there
But the stories are fascinating. They're stories of luck and grit and learning and they need to be shared. And this is how first 1000 came about. These are the stories he's sharing.
