YC Build Sprint: Day #24 Update

Twenty-fourth day of the sprint (check out the previous update here)! The long night has returned! Currently writing this from an empty WeWork lobby at 2 in the morning. It's been an interesting, sales + marketing day for us today. We used a combination of internal data and apollo.io to do some sales. It's was a whole new (and confusing world) for us. Still very fun! Hope to hear back from some people when I wake up tomorrow :)

How I feel today (regarding sales):
How I feel sometimes

Sprint Goal:

Acquire 50 new premium user for Ryeboard

Previous Objectives:

1) Send out 200 cold-emails

Scheduled to send almost 800 in 30 minutes!

2) Start mobile view

Unfortunately sales was MUCH harder than anticipated and didn't get around to starting this.

Key Metrics and Analysis :

  • WAU: 148
  • MAU: 89
  • Stickiness: 32.60%
  • New registrations: 10
  • New premium upgrades: 0
  • Total landing page visitors: 54

A slump from yesterday but not bad.

Objectives for Tomorrow:

  • Send out sales emails to a list of current teams I put together (around 50)
  • Get started on mobile view

That's it for today! New things were learned, but super tired and can't wait to get to bed :)
