🚧 Startup Funnel

🚧 Is Your Startup Funnel a Trap?

Startup founders often chase complex funnels, hidden hacks, or the next viral growth loop. But what if the real growth levers are sitting right in front of you?

Take a step back and ask yourself just two questions:

1️⃣ Who are my best customers?

2️⃣ Who pays the most or is the most enjoyable to work with?

When Arjun Mahadevan built doola, clarity came the moment he focused on these questions. Their best customers weren’t bargain hunters—they were founders who valued time over saving a few dollars. They didn’t want DIY; they wanted a Business-in-a-Box. The insight turned doola’s growth into a compounding engine.

Now think about the other side of the journey: fundraising. Many founders burn months repeating avoidable mistakes. This breakdown of $13M fundraising missteps shows exactly what to steer clear of before you pitch your next round.

Growth isn’t a hidden formula. It’s about doubling down on the customers who already love you—and avoiding traps that drain your runway.
