Poise

After replying to an IH post, Poise was selected for a month of free development work!

It's been an amazing experience & we're currently working on MVP V2.

We're building an experience that makes it easy for customers to submit their content for narration, listen back & give feedback before publishing as a podcast.

Thank you so much Prologe!!! https://prologe.io/

After lots of random/unsuccessful cold outbound emailing.

A popular Indian food blogger decided Poise sounded like a good idea.

We're now regularly producing an Indian cooking podcast from their content.

Main challenges:

• No social proof/reference customers/examples of our work
• Customer wasn't sure their content would work as a podcast
• Customer wanted to understand how they might monetise the podcast

Poise is a low tech/service as a product kind of thing.

Our MVP was a marketing site, building relationships with editors & narrators & setting up processing for getting work done.

Of course, there is more we could do, but to start this was enough to validate the idea.

I stopped thinking/talking about getting started & actually started! Wild, right?

It seems like a small decision, but it actually took me a whole year to convince myself to get going.

The first thing I learned was that I need to have more patience.
