Seed-stage growth playbook focused on channel selection and prioritization. Helps founders with product-market fit decide where to invest limited resources for maximum traction. By @WeiYipei.
Analyzes the founder's business context to deliver 3 best go-to-market strategies tailored to their current stage, product, and market. Asks up to 10 diagnostic questions when needed to understand product readiness, target market clarity, competitive positioning, and distribution channels. Use when user needs go-to-market strategy, launch planning, market entry strategy, or actionable GTM roadmap.
Applies the Bullseye Framework from Traction by Gabriel Weinberg and Justin Mares. Use when choosing growth channels, testing customer acquisition strategies, or deciding where to spend marketing effort. Covers all 19 traction channels with selection methodology, testing protocol, and phase-matched channel advice. Triggers include 'how do we get customers', 'which marketing channel should we use', 'we have a product but no users', 'our growth has stalled', 'should we do content marketing or paid ads', 'how do we test traction channels', 'what channels work at our stage'. NOT for product development (use Lean Startup), not for positioning/messaging (use Obviously Awesome), not for pricing (use Monetizing Innovation), not for enterprise sales methodology (use SPIN Selling).
Help users decide when and how to pivot their startup. Use when someone is questioning their current direction, seeing poor traction, considering a major strategy change, or stuck in the pre-PMF stage.
When the user wants to validate product-market fit, measure PMF, or plan before scaling. Also use when the user mentions "PMF," "product-market fit," "product market fit," "Sean Ellis test," "very disappointed," "vitamin vs painkiller," "PMF validation," "premature scaling," or "validate before scale."
Use this skill when users ask "What is the first step to build a brand", the team has a chaotic work rhythm, or discussions on hiring, ad placement, content creation and channel expansion have started without figuring out why to do it and what to do first.
The YC meta-game distilled from 4000+ funded companies. Demo day prep, batch dynamics, investor updates, "launch now" mentality, talking to users obsessively. This is the playbook that turned $125K checks into trillion-dollar companies. Use when "yc, y combinator, demo day, batch, investor update, office hours, launch now, talk to users, do things that don't scale, make something people want, startup school, yc application, series a prep, post-yc, yc, startup, accelerator, demo-day, fundraising, launch, users, growth" mentioned.
Coach the founder through actually selling: finding the champion and the buyer, running the first sales conversations, demoing their use case, handling "let me think about it," and closing the first paying customers yourself. Use when developers love it but nobody pays, you've never sold anything and freeze on the conversation, or deals keep stalling on "we'll think about it."
Measure and optimize growth using the AARRR (Pirate Metrics) framework with stage-specific KPIs and funnel analysis
When the user wants indie hacker or bootstrapping founder strategy—growth, channels, Build in Public, or solo founder tactics. Also use when the user mentions "indie hacker," "indie developer," "bootstrapping," "bootstrapped founder," "solo founder," "Build in Public," "scratch your own itch," "Micro-SaaS," "first 100 users," or "solo company."
Helps a founder build the case for raising prices and the moves that justify it; it drives toward a higher price and does not debate whether to raise. Three gated phases: (1) collect the reality (what you charge, what you promise, who buys) and diagnose which market the price has selected (the $1/$10/$100/$1,000-per-month ladder), the profit stakes (a 10% rise can be ~100% more profit), and whether the low price is strategy or fear, landing on a rough higher target; (2) brainstorm, judgment off, moves that justify a higher price — move up a market rung, price on value created not cost saved, build Love and Utility drivers, differentiate, repackage; (3) select, grilling each move down to a few that are good, strategy-consistent, buildable, and wanted. Load when the user asks how much to raise prices, what it would take to charge more, or why their price feels too low. Do NOT load to set the exact price, write the increase letter, define the ideal customer, or choose among the three pricing strategies.
Help users identify unique distribution advantages and master the lifecycle of acquisition channels to build a sustainable engine for growth and retention.
