Hi! I'm Valeria, a solo builder looking to connect with other B2C solo builders
After almost 20 years writing code for others I finally decided to start writing code for myself and boy did the reality hit hard! I'm still working full time and, unfortunately for me, my passion lies in B2C tools. In the past year I've learned that marketing consumer products, especially in the productivity sector, is brutal, especially when you have no clue what you're doing and most of the advices and books are for B2B SaaS. Well except for the "Don't do it!".
So if you're just like me, a crazy person that also decided to stick with building consumer products, especially if you're bootstrapping - I would love to get inspired by your successes, relate to your struggles and support however I can!
I'm relatively new to PH (have been lurking mostly, haven't even launched here yet), so if there's a special forum for that - I would appreciate the pointers!

Hi Valeria! Totally feel this...as a fellow solo B2C builder with a productivity tool (The Sponge, an AI-powered flashcard app), the marketing struggle is real. Bootstrapping consumer stuff is brutal, but outreach...outreach...outreach made the difference in my previous PH launches.
Would love to swap stories and support each other!
If you're up for it, I'm launching The Sponge on PH soon...would appreciate a follow (link in profile).
