Sam Altman on why you shouldn’t track absolute user growth in the early days of a startup “Nothing but a great product will save you; you can get everything else right and it still won’t work.” He points out that almost all startup founders get the following wrong: “It is more important to have a small number of users that love you than a lot of users that like you… Eventually what you want of course is a lot of users that really love your product, but that’s almost impossible to do.” In practice, you have two choices: Deep and Narrow: “You have a small number of users that really love you and then find out how to find more and more of those users and broaden the appeal of the product.” Shallow and Wide: “You can have a lot of people that sort of use the product once or twice and kind of like it and try to figure out how to get them more engaged over time.” “With high confidence, I can say that you want to start with a small number of users that really love you. Almost all great companies have products that start this way.” He argues that a good indicator of users loving your product is retention and frequency of use: “In fact, I think this is so important that you actually shouldn’t track absolute growth in number of users in the early days of a startup. You should just track how often they’re using it… That’s a good early indicator of users that love you—better still is them spontaneously telling their friends to buy your product.” Follow Startup Archive for more tactical startup advice!

Q: How do you decide which customers to listen to? As Superhuman founder & CEO Rahul Vohra puts it: “In a world where you’re drowning in feedback—and most startups are drowning in feedback—you have to filter it down to only the stuff that’s going to increase the number of people who fall in love with your product.” Most startups will listen to all feedback from on-the-fence customers, but this isn’t targeted enough and will often lead to a muddled, incoherent product. As Rahul argues in the clip below, you need to identify the main benefit of your product—for Superhuman this was speed. And then focus on the feedback of on-the-fence users who also view this as the main benefit—there’s often something small holding them back. Users for whom your main benefit does not resonate (e.g. Superhuman users who value offline capabilities rather than speed), are unlikely to ever fall in love with your product. When Superhuman ran this analysis in 2015, they found that the main thing holding back users who viewed speed as the main benefit was their lack of a mobile app. Probing further, they found some less obvious and more interesting requests, such as integrations, attachment handling, calendering, unified inbox and read receipts. With a clear understanding of their main benefit and missing features, they were able to move this cohort of users from on-the-fence into the territory of enthusiastic advocates. As Rahul puts it in his Product Market Fit Engine article: “To increase your product/market fit score, spend half your time doubling down on what users already love and the other half on addressing what’s holding others back.” But make sure you’re focusing on users who love the main benefit of your product. Users who don’t are unlikely to ever fall in love with your product.

🚨 New a16z request for startups: "delightful utility" apps 🚨 Have you spun the discount wheel while shopping on Temu? Or grown emotionally attached to the Duolingo owl? Maybe you cycle harder on Peloton when you see your position on the leaderboard drop or log back into Snapchat just for your streak. The bar to create the next breakout hit is now higher because we've satiated many consumer needs. New apps need to not only provide core utility for users, but wrap that value in an experience that's genuinely engaging and delightful. A few illustrative ideas: - Visual-first no-code platforms that make AI prompting intuitive and rewarding - AI matchmakers (for dating/hiring/groups) with distinct personalities that users bond with - Social credit card games with real stakes and competition - IP-driven AI companions that offer both entertainment and emotional support When the competition for attention is fierce, sometimes the moat is engagement itself—delivering value, but in a way that's more captivating than competitors. We're looking for: - Fast time to delight: Games put you immediately in the action. How quickly can you deliver the magic moment to users? What subsequent moments keep them coming back? - Founders with viral instincts. Driving attention isn't random—it's a repeatable skill set. In today's competitive landscape, founders need to naturally generate buzz and drive attention to themselves. - Monetization that scales with engagement. The best apps offer spending opportunities proportional to user investment. Simple subscriptions create a step-function demand curve, think like a game and monetize discretely along the entire curve. - Genuine stickiness. High retention across both paid and free users signals true product-market resonance. This can't be faked—it proves your core loop works. If you're building in this space, apply to speedrun. We want to back founders who are creating delightful experiences and take fun seriously.
