How to get your first 10 customers with no budget, no brand and no sales team
Your first ten customers won't come from a campaign. They arrive one at a time, because you went and asked them.
That is the part most founders skip. It is slow, manual, and doesn't scale. You write to one person, then the next; most people are already somewhere near your own network. No ads. No brand. No pipeline.
It is also the fastest route to ten paying customers when you have nothing to spend.
Charles Hope, founder of Your Startup Advisor, is back in the Founder Growth Rooms to walk through how that work gets done.
If you caught his last SeedLegals session, "Validating your idea is not customer discovery", you know Charles does not give generic startup advice. He names what founders get wrong and what to do instead.
Who this is for
Founders with no customers yet, or a handful they cannot explain. If your traction slide is blank and you already have an investor conversation booked, come along.
What Charles will cover
- Where the first ten actually come from, and why warm networks beat cold campaigns this early
- How to go to people one by one, and what to say when you do
- Why manual outreach gets you further than paid ads before you know who buys and why
- What those first ten will show you about your product, your price and your pitch
- One clear next step you can take the day after the session
