Ben had another good week. He signed up 25 new trials and about five conversions for Tuple. Are you one of the 500 chosen by Derrick to get access to Level? Be sure to check your Inbox on Monday for an email from him to find out.

  • Demo Option: Click around, view dummy posts to get sense of how Level works
  • Refactoring UI: Could it be a perennial seller?
  • How much should you share about your startup in your tweets?
  • Focus on being best option; don’t brag about your success
  • Trying to sell a theme via Tailwind; adding vs. creating new products
  • Holy Grail of Software Business: Rob Walling’s stairstep approach to recurring revenue
  • Growth rate required to stay alive? Keep product relevant to what market wants
