Fake Mayo is a newsletter and blog that publishes real startup stories on how founders landed their first customers or early users. Each post focuses on what entrepreneurs actually did—covering business, product, or side-project growth from the first traction onward.
The publication is built for indie makers, solopreneurs, startup founders, and builders who want actionable tactics rather than hype. Stories include founder interviews and case studies, plus tactical breakdowns of approaches used to attract users, with practical lessons drawn from both what worked and what didn’t.
