Hey guys! Pumped to be here. I'm Nathan, founder of The Feed.
When I was 15 I had a niche company that made custom Minecraft maps for famous YouTubers. It blew through my expectations, cracking 6-figures, with a $0 customer acquisition cost.
Why? We built a small but mighty audience that watched our YouTube 'let's build' videos.
Now I'm watching founders like Sahil Bloom, Alex Becker, and Ryan Serhant do this at a scale WAY bigger than me, building audiences of 100k+ across Twitter, YouTube, IG, etc.
Ultimately, these audiences become a flywheel for everything from investing and fundraising to building 7-8 figure businesses.
And it's worked pretty well.
1) Sahil makes $1M+ between his newsletter, VC fund, and agency.
2) Alex Becker sold his SaaS company for $110M.
3) Ryan Serhant's brokerage has closed $1B+ in real estate; he's sold $10M houses just by posting a TikTok video about them.
My conclusion was that the new competitive differentiator as a founder is your audience.
How did they grow their audience? I deep dive into their Interviews, Posts, and Strategies so you donβt have to. Then deliver the TLDR straight to your inbox 1x per week. That's The Feed!
