SnapPea Ventures Investment

Note in Non-legalese: We use a SAFE because it allows us to invest in your future without putting debt on your balance sheet and hurting your chances of future investment by others. If you succeed, we share in the reward. If you fail, you don’t owe us anything.

Course 5: Conversion Optimization

Oh, you thought you were done? You’re not done. But now we get to the fun stuff.  Set up tracking analytics and focus on driving traffic and conversion.  There’s nothing better than waking up to a full page of orders from FREE traffic.  

“But I’m launching another product!” or “My market is changing.” We have a course for that too, but you already have it.  Jump back to course 1 and let’s go again! Chances are we’ve updated again too!

Course 4: PRDs and POCs

Creating a PRD / POC is a critical step in development that a lot of people skip. Trust me, we’ve seen how bad that can go later.  The last thing you want is to solve a problem, but price yourself out of the only market that cares. These documents build alignment in your team, help to resolve development priority, and ensure you can profit from your venture. 

“Wait, my numbers don’t quite work!!” – Fear not, at this point there’s always a solution.  You can go back to course 1 and find a new story to sell the product you have, or go back to course 3 and see is a different solution is just as interesting to your market. 

If everything is lined up, the only thing left is to sell. Grab course 5 and build those pages that convert! Want to jump in to this course?  Drop us a line and we’ll see if we can help. 

Course 3: Landing Pages

Build and test landing pages to prove the solution you’re building is exactly what your customers are looking for! Use this process to define your product to match the market need and ensure you can make money as you scale your solution. 

Didn’t quite get the results you were expecting? No problem.  Take what you learned in course 2 to find a new angle, or go back to course 1 and refine your problem.  Sometimes the problem resonates, but people don’t want a solution, they just want to complain.

Course 1: Next Steps

Course 1 is all about validation. We have some KPIs that give you the confidence you need to move forward.  If you don’t hit them on the first try, try again.  Some people want to jump ahead, but it will bite you later.  Keep on refining your solution at this stage to save you hundreds of thousands developing a solution that may never scale!
