Die vollständige Geschichte
Alex initially launched Replyze in October 2023 on Product Hunt, but it was unsuccessful. Ready to sell for $20-25K, he received an interesting offer.
The Partnership
A potential buyer suggested teaming up instead, investing $10K in marketing. They rebranded to ReplyGuy with a premium domain.
The Relaunch
In January 2024, they relaunched on Product Hunt, getting about 30 new paid customers in 4 days. By June 2024, they reached $10K MRR.
- First launch: Failed
- Relaunch: 30 customers in 4 days
- Time to $10K MRR: 8 months
- Exit: 6 figures
