You think viral launches are luck or just good marketing, but this dissects the actual mechanics: how Coin hit 410,000 Facebook mentions and pre-sold 1,000 units in an hour by nailing product-market fit first, then letting earned media do the work paid ads never could.
You've probably tried connecting an API or two, but this breaks down the $32 trillion shift happening as physical devices go online—and shows you three real startups (Automatic, Lockitron, Tile) that nailed it so you can spot the pattern before you waste time on the wrong IoT project.
You've probably tried launching something and wondered why nobody cared—this dissects a launch that got massively over-subscribed by combining Kickstarter-style urgency with seamless Amazon payments and a video that actually sells. You'll spot the specific tactics that create FOMO and conversions.
You've probably thought about smart locks but never pulled the trigger because the setup seems like a black hole of compatibility issues and bricked hardware. Here's a founder actually using one in production, so you can see what works before you waste time on something half-baked.
