2722 dispatches from hundreds of founders, pulled from the week's best podcasts.
I started this Mastermind in 2010 I believe... it's been two of us once a month since 2010 now 13 years I mean just with this one other guy... masterminds are huge I used to be in two masterminds because I wanted every you know and they were every other week
Masterminds beat conferences and communities as the solo-founder antidote
Rob's ranking of solo-founder antidotes, strongest first: (1) masterminds — small group, recurring, real accountability; (2) in-person events; (3) communities. He's been in one mastermind with the same partner for 13 straight years, monthly. MicroConf's mastermind matching has paired ~800-1000 founders with ~$150M collective MRR. If you're a solo founder spiraling, this is the single highest-leverage intervention.
With subscription products, you need to make sure the value promise is repeatable and there's a new chapter every so often that brings the user back. Early Fitbit had a decay curve to the marginal value — if all you're doing is telling someone how many steps they walked, there's a ceiling. Consumer subscription businesses only really work if they have really high long-term retention rates.
The repeatable-value problem kills subscription businesses: recurring billing requires recurring utility
Many subscription apps have a 'first month delight' problem: the product feels transformative in week one and table-stakes by week eight. Carter's repeatable-value test: does the app have new chapters (new content, new insights from accumulating data, new social dynamics) that justify month-12 billing as much as month-1 billing? Content apps solve this with fresh content; tool apps must generate ongoing insights from user data.
There's a play for whatever you're stuck on.
