“I reached out to Legacy X and I said, 'Guys, I can build you a better product research tool than anything on the market.' So I told them, 'Give me 48 hours and if you like what we see, we can partner — no strings attached and you guys have nothing to lose.' Next day I woke up to the call: hey, quit your job, we're going to do this full-time.”

Pitch a 48-hour no-strings MVP demo to a distribution partner instead of launching on PH

The launch wasn't Product Hunt or X. It was a single cold pitch to one coaching company with a built-in audience of Amazon sellers, framed so they risked nothing. Hassam shipped on a 48-hour clock specifically so the demo could close the partnership the next morning, and hit $10K MRR within 30 days.
