That’s so exciting, congrats! How did you approach user acquisition? How did that change as you grew?

Initially, just posted in a bunch of subreddits on reddit to get engagement. But the retention was quite low. I still used that engagement to get a couple hundred followers on twitter.

Afterwards, realized that twitter had the most solid trading community out of any other platform. So all I've been doing for the last one year is build a community on twitter now (and of ofcourse discord too since everyone's there these days). I try to post ideas from the system every day, and when people see them work and make some money off of them, they subscribe to the paid plan.

Discord has a massive portion of the overall trading community, so I created discord bots to pull data from the web product, and every data item had our logo on it. That helped quite a lot in expanding the brand name and reaching more people. We're in about 250 discords and reach about 100k members in them overall.

Finally, 12 hours of sitting in front of a laptop every day lol.

Awesome work; congratulations!

You say you leveraged your experience with AI. How savvy were you in the trading/finance world when you started?

That is awesome. Congratulations - you've nailed it. What sort of churn rate do you deal with?
