About
I enjoyed a 5-year career running a creative agency based in India. Now, I am pivoting my career from an agency owner to a SaaS founder. Alongside my co-founder, Joseph Lee, I am currently focused on building Supademo - a cool tool that helps software product teams create interactive product demos in minutes. I love startup life. It gives me a chance to constantly learn new things, explore new tech, and meet new people. Also, I love art, design, and all things creative. When I am not working, you will find me traveling with my wife, hiking in the mountains, taking long road trips, and playing video games.

I just reached 10 paying customers after 2 weeks of the public launch 🕺 (Not yet on PH)
I am Koushik, founder of Supademo, and this is the story of how I got my first 10 paid customers. Firstly, Wow, the feeling is memorable. I know it's a small win, but it feels like a big one in my heart A little backstory. I launched the beta version of Supademo(a tool to create interactive product demos in minutes) on Oct 8th. Link to the product: https://supademo.com After running the beta for 5 Weeks+, I officially made the public launch 2 weeks back. Some stats so far: 340 signups 250+ user demos 10 Paid customers So how did I get here? I tried different strategies to get the initial word out and find the beta users. (mainly in the first 2 weeks) These worked great for me: Hackernews(70 upvotes) Reddit: r/SideProject (70 upvotes) Word of mouth Cold DMs and emails to experienced Indiehackers for feedback. (%15 effect ) Fortunately, so many users found the product helpful. So, I started getting tons of feedback. I took calls with some of them, and some sent me feedback through emails and DMs. I am so grateful to everyone who took the time to try the product and give feedback and suggestions. So I quickly aggregated the feedback in one place and rolled out the most requested features one by one. I shared product updates through email every week with the users. The users who saw me implementing their feedback trusted me and became my first paid customers. Lesson learned: As Indiehackers, we know how precious is our time and resources. So when you are starting, instead of finding ways to get more users, find the right ones, listen to them, and optimize the product accordingly. I know this is just the start, but I am excited about the upcoming journey. Much more things to learn!
