Founders, let's talk about the growth grind.
Building an amazing product is one thing. Getting it seen, acquiring users, and scaling ads efficiently? That's a whole different beast. It often feels like a constant battle against budget burn and complex platforms.

100%. I just heard someone say that the cost of marketing is now more than the cost of building, thanks to vibe coding / AI tools.
@frederikb So true building has never been cheaper, but getting attention keeps getting more expensive. That’s why we built Nyra (https://www.getnyra.ai/) it helps founders automate ad creation and targeting so they can scale without burning through budget. Appreciate your take!
Honestly? The weirdest thing was realizing no growth lever feels good at first. Cold DMs feel desperate, ads feel expensive (sometimes, they actually are, at least when you're still bootstrapping), SEO feels slow, and all that. But I've learnt there’s no perfect path. You pick your pain and build a muscle. And if you’re lucky, it compounds and yield the results before your funds run out.
@a11yexpert Could not agree more no growth lever feels comfortable at first. Cold DMs, ads, SEO… all come with friction. With Nyra (https://www.getnyra.ai/), we are trying to reduce that friction for early-stage teams by making paid growth feel more accessible and less risky. Loved your insight!
