Monad to Millions

Dear Founders,

Startups grow in orbits.

You have grown in the Monad ecosystem since Testnet launch. Many of you have user retention too.

But you should also have a product that appeals to a wider audience than the Monad ecosystem. The way to find that out is to market outside the Monad Community.

From the start of testnet until now, we saw founders who got traction in the Monad ecosystem. Many of you did very well in this orbit.

Before the mainnet, it is time to test whether your product can get traction in the larger crypto industry and among non-crypto-natives.

This is a chance to see if your product is differentiated enough from industry standards and appeals to the wider audience.

Think in terms of orbits. Your home orbit is Monad. The Nads love your product and are having fun with it. So you are one of the best in Monad ecosystem.

But now, with the same value proposition and product, can you excite rest of Crypto Twitter? That will be your next orbit.

Eventually, you will have to prove whether your product appeals to people outside of Crypto Twitter altogether. That will determine whether you can go mainstream and achieve a massive outcome.

In trying to achieve this, you will expose a lot of problems. You only solve those problems that are needed to get you the next level of growth. This helps you prioritize and allocate resources efficiently.

Finding your wedge, cutting down unwanted features, running experiments to see what users desperately want, exploring different networks to onboard new users from, improving retention numbers in the existing users, all of this becomes your main job in the road to mainnet.

Product and tech are the tools to achieve this growth. The outer rings of orbit await. 💜

I need help from a few community members for a project. Strong opinions about Monad and crypto appreciated. Please DM me, thanks!

My personal goal for Monad Mainnet and beyond is to increase the level of optimism in the space.

If you have any suggestions, let me know!
