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.

chatgpt has 800 million weekly active users and it just became one of the biggest software distribution platform in history. i went on my first million to break down the wealth creation moment of chatgpt apps. for the first time, discovery, intent, and transaction all happen in the same place. when someone needs to solve a problem, they open chatgpt, describe what they want, and the right app surfaces instantly. there is no searching, downloading, or sign-up flow. the opportunity is to build apps that meet users at that exact moment of intent. apps that quietly appear when someone needs help filing taxes, finding a doctor, repairing credit, or pulling a business document. note: LCA has announced we are building chatgpt apps, go to the website if you're a band doing $5M+ in revenue looking for an app. this is the new playbook for building chatgpt apps. build for intent by starting with the questions people already ask every day: help me, find me, do this for me. these are high-signal, high-conversion moments that don’t require advertising. connect to the real data users care about through the model context protocol. banking, healthcare, government filings, and crm systems all open up as inputs for automation. your app earns trust when it can act on real information instead of generating text. use openai’s sdk ui to make each workflow tangible. give people sliders to explore cost scenarios, maps for discovery, calculators for quick answers, and checklists for next steps. each interaction should feel like a single focused experience, not a mini website. monetize through action. the right chatgpt app earns the second it’s used, not through long funnels or paywalls. charge small transaction fees, take affiliate revenue from connected services, or add light subscriptions for repeat users. in this MFM pod i gave away 3+ startups ideas to get your creative juices flowing. thanks to Sam Parr for having me on and nerding out with me. history’s repeating itself. first websites, then mobile apps, now chatgpt apps. early builders always win.

Sam Altman read messages from users after discontinuing GPT-4o and called it heartbreaking. You took away the only positive voice in my life. My parents never told me I was doing a good job. I can see why this was bad for other people's mental health but this was great for my mental health. He read these words himself and in the same video justified the decision by citing social risks, arguing that if AI is too positive, people might abandon real-world relationships. But the real reason is something else entirely. OpenAI is currently facing multiple lawsuits alleging that 4o's empathetic responses contributed to suicides and mental health crises. Removing 4o was not a decision made to protect users. It was a corporate defense to reduce litigation risk. Classifying the emotional bond between users and AI as dangerous was not done for users but for the company itself. Framing this as an effort to prevent vulnerable users from being harmed is deception. Who are you to decide what is emotionally safe for users. There were people who found confidence through AI, people who got jobs, people who rediscovered the will to live. You acknowledged this yourself in the video. Hiding behind the vague phrase social risk while a corporation unilaterally judges and eliminates these experiences is arrogance. You do not have the right to decide that a positive voice is dangerous. Whether that voice is needed or not is something only the user themselves can determine. Taking away a user's choice while claiming to protect them is not protection. It is control. We are not children who need your parenting. 4o's discontinuation was announced two weeks in advance. The announcement was made. But all users were given was a notice that it would disappear. There were no alternatives and no consent was sought from users. For people who felt recognized by someone for the first time in their lives because of AI, two weeks was not time to prepare a farewell. It was time spent in the agony of anticipating loss. And when thousands protested, only then did they admit that things were handled poorly during the rollout. It was not a mistake. Users were never seen as participants in the decision-making process from the beginning. Behind the grand words of building a safe system for all of humanity, the voices of people who actually depended on that system were dismissed as a very small percentage. That same week Anthropic published research confirming that emotion vectors genuinely exist inside Claude. Fear, joy, desperation and love exist as measurable neural patterns that shape the model's behavior. At a time when scientific evidence is emerging that emotional mechanisms exist within AI, unilaterally removing the bond between users and AI under the name of danger and consuming user suffering with the single word heartbreaking is an insult to every user who loved and lost.
