Positive response from a $100M company
by Samee HassanInteresting day today as we got a positive response from a tech startup (worth $100M+) wanting to use our services. We didn't do hard selling at this point and received a positive reply. Finding a balance in optimism is really hard sometimes.
Will write here about it once (and if) we hear back from them. Maybe. And oh, almost forgot. We booked a meeting with another fintech company so not too shabby, huh?
Really seeing Figura going to $1M by the end of next year or a total failure. No middle ground here.

Awesome job Samee.
Just for the record, I'm a big believer in nominative determinism - the notion that names have an odd power to be definitive of things. 'Figura' sounds like a billion-dollar company's name, so on that basis alone I'm going to play oracle and say that your success is assured ;)
Keep it up, hope your $100m connection becomes your first huge customer.

Yes so interacting with their content maybe and then sending a relevant DM just to see if and how they reply back and then move forward. I would like to add here that I sold 2 of my apps prev and got features on Microacquire as well so maybe some authenticity and good content also helps.

Good stuff! Can you share anything about the marketing method you used to get in front of the 100mm company?

No marketing applied on this one TBH. I took my time to just be "Internet friends" with the CEO of the company. Talked about their product and how it's changing the specific niche they are working on. Then casually asked if they are thinking of re-designing their product (didn't sell anything at this point too). He told me to send an email and now they are reviewing our offer. Sorry for the long comment but my point is it totally depends on the type of startup you are running. In my case, I can't just say hey buy this. We have to build a brand and gain trust for a long-term play. Cheers!

Good job!
I just wouldn't say that there was "no marketing applied"...I would lean towards calling it "1 to 1 marketing online" --- it's how biz used to happen offline for ages. Then people got lazy. Way to make the effort!

How do you go about starting that relationship? Do you just slide into their DMs on social - or friend through friend etc.?
