First Users

Users

The first group of people who use your product. They validate your idea, provide early feedback, and create the initial traction your startup needs to grow.

Why First Users Matter

First users are the foundation of any successful startup. They're not just customers—they're validators, advocates, and co-creators who help shape your product into something the market actually wants.

Without first users, startups struggle to gain momentum, validate their assumptions, or attract investors. These early adopters provide the social proof and feedback necessary to refine your product before scaling to a broader audience.

How to Find Your First Users

  • Leverage your personal network and ask for honest feedback
  • Engage in communities where your target audience hangs out
  • Use platforms like FirstUsers that connect startups with early adopters
  • Offer incentives like early access, discounts, or exclusive features
  • Share your story and vision, not just your product features
