When I created my first business Founders Cafe, the biggest problem I ran into was how to get more inbounds.

I spammed everyday on Reddit, Linkedin DMs, Slack and more.

I would get a few people trickling in here and there. But nothing consistent.

When I started writing blog posts on Medium, LinkedIn, that's when I noticed the biggest influx of traffic.

Suddenly people started applying. YC founders paid $4k and referenced that one article as to why they joined.

One person started paying $1,000/mo without even talking to me.

It was insane.

I knew I needed a way to scale out this content. All I did was write about was my frameworks, my interviews with other VCs/Founders, and my experiences.

All of this was recorded on Zoom/Otter.

So I ended up building out a tool to turn these recordings into revenue generating content. That business scaled to 240k revenue over the next 24 months.

I want to help other founders scale out their content, so that they go from spammming / outbound to having a revenue generating content system.

I believe that we all have thought leadership inside our companies, but we just need some help massaging it out into the world.
