We’re building a new mobile AI product that lets anyone create and share mini-apps simply by chatting with AI. Think personal tools, trackers, planners, games, calculators, interactive utilities, and other small apps created without coding. The product is built and we are now looking for a hands-on GTM / Growth Operator to help us go from early product → first active users → first paying customers. This is not a strategy-only consulting role. We need someone who can actually execute. What You'll Own Your job is to help us discover who wants this product, what they use it for, and how we repeatedly acquire those users. You will: - Identify and test our highest-potential initial user segments/use cases - Recruit our first batches of real users in the U.S. and Canada - Personally reach out to and onboard early adopters - Find relevant Reddit, Discord, X, TikTok, creator and niche communities - Run scrappy acquisition experiments - Test messaging, positioning and landing-page concepts - Develop organic/content distribution experiments - Identify potential creators and micro-influencers for partnerships - Talk to users and feed insights back into product decisions - Measure activation, sharing, retention, and conversion - Help determine which acquisition channel we should scale - Help us convert our first users into paying customers - Initial Goals We want to work toward: - Phase 1: First 50–100 genuinely active users - Phase 2: Identify 1–2 repeatable acquisition channels - Phase 3: First 100 paying customers - Phase 4: Scale toward 10,000+ users/waitlist We care much more about active users and learning than vanity signups. Who We're Looking For Ideally, you've previously worked on 0→1 growth for an early-stage consumer, prosumer, creator, AI, mobile, or SaaS startup. You should be comfortable doing things manually before trying to scale them. Examples: Finding 30 potential users → DMing them → getting 10 into the product → watching what they do → changing the pitch → trying another community → measuring results. We DON'T need someone whose main answer is: - SEO - Google Ads - Facebook Ads - "Increase brand awareness" - Generic social media management - Buying leads - Creating a 50-page marketing strategy Paid acquisition may come later. Right now we need someone who knows how to find product-market pull from zero. Geography Our initial target market is the United States and Canada, so you should be comfortable recruiting and marketing to North American users. When Applying Start your proposal with: "0 TO 1 GTM" Then answer these 4 questions: 1. You start Monday with our product and zero users. What exactly would you do during your first 14 days? 2. Give us 3 specific user segments you would test first for a product that lets people create mini-apps by chatting with AI. Why those three? 3. How would you personally acquire our first 50 active users without relying primarily on paid advertising? Be specific about channels and tactics. 4. Tell us about one product where you personally helped acquire the first users. What did YOU actually do and what were the results? Please don't send a generic marketing proposal. We're specifically looking for someone with hands-on early-stage GTM experience. Engagement We'd like to begin with a paid 2–4 week trial project. If we work well together and find traction, this can become an ongoing engagement as we work toward our first 100 paying customers and beyond.

In my past projects, I've excelled in rapid user acquisition by implementing creative strategies and harnessing the power of market research. I specialize in identifying and testing potential user segments/use cases to drive meaningful traction and conversion. For your AI app centred around creating mini-apps, I'd prioritize three key segments: gamers, organizers/planners, and interactive utility seekers. These segments boast high levels of app engagement making them more amenable to trying out new products like yours, plus each segment has diverse needs that will provide ample data on the viability of your product across different user bases. I'll employ my in-depth understanding of SEO, technical SEO, content marketing, and Google Analytics to execute scrappy yet effective organic/user acquisition experiments targeting communities like Reddit, Discord etc. To acquire your first 50 active users sans paid advertisement, I would leverage my expertise in digital marketing across channels like content creation/distribution (blogs, relevant forums), word-of-mouth referrals among friends and family as well as custom outreach to potential micro-influencers with substantial user-engagement.

0 TO 1 GTM Hello, I have reviewed your project and I understand that your goal is not simply marketing an AI product. You want to identify the right users, validate real use cases, acquire your first active users, and discover repeatable growth channels that can turn early traction into paying customers.

I would be happy to assist you with the following: • Identifying and testing high potential user segments and use cases. • Recruiting and personally onboarding the first 50 to 100 active users across the U.S. and Canada. • Finding relevant Reddit, Discord, X, TikTok, creator, and niche communities. • Running organic acquisition experiments, testing messaging, positioning, content, and landing pages. • Building creator and micro influencer partnerships while gathering user feedback. • Tracking activation, sharing, retention, and conversion to identify scalable acquisition channels. If you are looking for a proactive GTM and growth operator who is comfortable executing manually, learning quickly, and turning early users into paying customers, send me a message and I would be glad to discuss how I can help take your product from zero to meaningful traction.

"0 TO 1 GTM" 1. In the first 14 days, I would focus on identifying potential user segments through market research, reaching out to relevant communities, and onboarding early adopters. I would also start running scrappy acquisition experiments to test messaging and positioning. 2.

These segments show a clear need for our product and have a high potential for engagement. 3. To acquire our first 50 active users, I would leverage Reddit communities, Discord channels, and niche forums to reach our target audience organically. I would also utilize personalized outreach, referral programs, and content distribution to drive user engagement. 4. In a previous project, I helped acquire the first users for a mobile productivity app by conducting user interviews, optimizing the onboarding process, and collaborating with influencers to promote the app. This approach led to a significant increase in user activation and retention.

Hello, Drawing on a wealth of experience in growth engagement and marketing strategy, I'm exactly the talent you're seeking to propel this project towards success. In my previous roles, I have consistently transformed nascent startups into thriving businesses by deeply understanding users' needs, crafting targeted campaigns, and gauging impact through insightful analytics. Leveraging this background, I would immediately and personally engage with potential user segments to understand their preferences so that we can strategically scale this app to reach the right audience. As a "0 TO 1 GTM" expert, I understand that it's not just about mass marketing; it is fine-tuning each aspect till optimum resonance is achieved. This resonates with the initial goal you described - gaining 50-100 genuinely active users as an indicator of promising growth. My focus will be on organic/user-centric tactics: finding & engaging with relevant Reddit/Discord groups and locating niche communities where your innovative app will genuinely add value. I love watching strategies unfold in real-time and tweaking them for compelling outcomes. For instance, one project where I was instrumental in acquiring initial users was a consumer platform connecting artists and galleries. I personally scoured art forums, connected with Instagram creators/art lovers, and leveraged events to generate buzz around the platform. Within the initial phase, our community grew from Thanks!

Hello, I have reviewed your posting and understand that you need a hands-on GTM/Growth Operator who can turn an early AI product into real user traction—not just produce a strategy. I would use the first 14 days to identify 3–5 promising use cases, interview prospects, recruit targeted users through Reddit, Discord, X, TikTok and niche communities, onboard them personally, test messaging/landing pages, and measure activation, sharing, retention and conversion. I would initially test creators/solopreneurs, students/productivity users, and small-business operators because each has frequent needs for lightweight custom tools. For the first 50 active users, I would combine highly targeted DMs, community participation, creator outreach, referral loops and direct user onboarding rather than relying on paid ads. My focus is simple: find genuine product-market pull, learn quickly from users, identify repeatable acquisition channels, and convert early adopters into paying customers. Please let me know if my profile interests you; we can schedule a time to discuss. Thank you, Elijah M.

Your mini-app builder is ready. What you need now is the first people in the U.S. and Canada who will actually make and share something with it. I can start right now. In 24-48 hours you get a live sample: one first-user segment, a simple pitch, and a small real outreach batch. Same muscle that already delivered a 34-lead B2B batch for a client. I will find the communities, reach out, onboard early users, test the message, and feed you what they say. Not a strategy deck. Users and experiments. Which first use case should I recruit around: trackers, planners, or simple games?

Having worked hands-on across ICT, technical support, and user acquisition, I drive early growth through execution, direct outreach, and rapid feedback loops rather than passive strategy. 1. First 14 Days Days 1–3: Ship 5 functional mini-app templates (e.g., event RSVP, habit tracker, simple CRM). Set up basic event tracking. Days 4–7: Direct-pitch 100 prospective power users with pre-built mini-apps tailored to their workflows. Days 8–14: Run high-touch onboarding calls, gather friction points, and iterate positioning daily. 2. Core Segments to Test Freelance Consultants: Need custom client-intake/calculator tools fast without coding. Community Managers: Require lightweight interactive polls, directory apps, or event tools. 3. Acquiring First 50 Users Direct Outreach: Send personalized loom/demo mini-apps to 150 targeted users on LinkedIn and X. Niche Communities: Share step-by-step "build with me" breakdown posts in specialized Slack, Discord, and Reddit channels. Template Library: Publish buildable templates that users can clone and customize instantly. 4. Track Record During an early rollout for an ICT customer service and digital processing service, I directly handled frontline onboarding, demonstrated core utility to walk-in users, and streamlined manual intake into digital requests. This hands-on approach converted immediate foot traffic into a loyal, recurring user base of over 100 initial active clients within three weeks.

0 TO 1 GTM First two weeks: use the product myself, then manually recruit thirty to forty people from three segments, indie hackers who share builds publicly, creators wanting audience tools, and hobbyist communities replacing spreadsheets, personally onboarding them and watching what they build and share unprompted. Kill weak segments, double down on real sharing. Acquisition without ads means individual outreach where people already describe the problem, personal onboarding, seeding small engaged creators for free, and treating each created app as the shareable unit itself. My real experience is agency side. Cold outreach into door and window installation businesses failed despite volume, since high ticket trust can't be bought that way. We pivoted to a guaranteed minimum window cleaning reactivation offer after validating pain points through direct owner interviews. The lesson: change the offer or segment fast rather than push harder.

Hi, I can help move the AI mini-app product from launch readiness to measurable early adoption through hands-on execution: define the first user segments, sharpen positioning, build short-form demos and launch content, run targeted outreach, collect structured activation feedback, and track the path from signup to first created mini-app and paid intent. I would start with a one-week sprint and a simple experiment dashboard. Which user segment is currently showing the strongest organic interest?

Hello, To tackle your project, I'd begin by diving deep into understanding the core functions of your app, evaluating user needs and behavior. Following this, I'd help identify several potential user segments that align with your product's unique value proposition.

Let's connect over the chat to discuss more on this.

0 TO 1 GTM Let’s turn your AI mini-app creator into a product people actively use and share. I specialize in hands-on, 0→1 growth for early-stage consumer and AI products, focusing on real user acquisition, activation, and conversion. First 14 days: I would map 3–5 high-potential user segments, join 10+ relevant communities (Reddit, Discord, X, TikTok), personally DM 50–100 potential users, onboard 10–15 into the product, observe usage, refine messaging, and run 3–5 scrappy acquisition experiments. Three segments to test: No-code creators who already build tools but want faster AI workflows. Productivity enthusiasts who want custom planners, trackers, and utilities. Micro-creators/educators who want interactive tools for their audience. First 50 active users: I would personally recruit from niche communities, creator Discords, Reddit threads, and X/TikTok conversations, offering early access, direct onboarding calls, and feedback-driven improvements.
