About this Class
The difference between a struggling startup and a "hot," funded startup is traction. Traction is having thousands of active users and signing up more users today than you did yesterday.
But, how do you get all those users to sign-up without spending money on advertising? Google SEM is too expensive. No one clicks on Facebook ads.
You may have word of mouth but without many users to spread the word, it will be a long, slow journey.
Both Carbonmade and Yipit have gotten to traction and acquired hundreds of thousands of users without spending money.
We'll share five techniques we used to accelerate our user growth.
Co- Teacher: Spencer Fry
Spencer Fry co-founded TypeFrag and Carbonmade. Carbonmade is a service that lets photographers, artists and others easily manage their online portfolio.
Note: All proceeds will be donated to Raise Cache, a benefit fashion show on November 17th to celebrate NY tech and raise $100,000 for HackNY. Help celebrate NYC as the epicenter of Tech, fashion, art, culture and music while fostering the next generation of innovators.
