Jakob here 🖐
In my newsletter Fake Mayo I share weekly stories (interviews) of how founders got their first customers.
This story is about Devansh Bhushan and his project Growfol. A tool to create high quality LinkedIn content with AI.
- Launched June 2024
- 2-3 months to get 100 users
- Currently 12 paying customers
At 24, Devansh Bhushan, a software developer from a small town in India, balances his day job at Wingify with building Growfol, an AI-driven tool to simplify LinkedIn content creation. Working from Punjab, Devansh came from a middle-class family with no business background, but his ambition led him to pursue product development alongside his 9-5.
Growfol emerged as Devansh’s first serious product in 2024, designed to help LinkedIn creators streamline their content creation. The platform includes features like post previews, 100+ templates, and scheduling capabilities, all under a subscription model.
Despite his limited marketing experience, Devansh gained 100 users within 2.5 months of launching in June 2024, solely using free promotion channels like LinkedIn, X, and Reddit. With 12 paying customers so far, Growfol has generated $393 in revenue.
Currently, Devansh is focused on launching Growfol on Product Hunt, expanding his LinkedIn presence, and enhancing SEO through a blog and free tools. For Devansh, Growfol is just the beginning of a larger entrepreneurial journey.
