What This Skill Does
Guides founders through landing their first 10 paying B2B customers using tactics from Lenny Rachitsky's research on how companies like Slack, Stripe, and Figma found early users. Covers warm network outreach, targeted cold email, and community-based approaches. Steers users away from premature launches, paid ads, and enterprise targets.
Applies research-backed tactics from how actual B2B companies secured their first customers rather than generic growth advice.
When to use it
- Writing a warm intro request to a mutual connection
- Building a 50-lead cold outreach list for a niche market
- Identifying which Slack or Discord communities your buyers use
- Drafting a cold email that references a prospect's tech stack
- Deciding whether to pursue network intros or cold outreach first
