Product Overview
First 1,000 Users is a free map of 25 short guides for founders trying to get their first 1,000 users. The guides are organized by product stage—idea and validation, waitlist, private beta, launch, first 100 users, and first 1,000 users—so readers can focus on tactics that match where they are now.
Each guide is also rated for fit by product type, including web app/SaaS, mobile app, browser extension, developer tool, AI tool, open source, marketplace, newsletter/content site, and game. It covers practical topics like problem interviews, search demand checks, pre-selling, waitlist referrals, early SEO, directories, community outreach, and launch posts—without requiring an account or email wall.

Apply tactics to your next milestone
Use the listed actions—such as problem interviews, waitlist referrals, beta onboarding, and launch posts—to move from your current step toward 1,000 users.
Use cases
- A founder validating a new web app can follow the idea and validation guides to run problem interviews, check search demand, and identify where potential users already talk before building a waitlist.
- A developer with a browser extension or developer tool can use the waitlist and private beta guides to pre-sell to a small set, recruit beta testers in niche communities, and onboard testers with a consistent call process.
- A team ready to launch a SaaS or marketplace can use the launch and first-100/1,000 guides to plan Product Hunt and Reddit launch posts, submit to startup directories, and ask users for referrals.
Who is it for?
First 1,000 Users is designed for founders and early-stage teams who need concrete steps to acquire their first users. It’s especially useful for makers shipping web apps/SaaS, developer tools, and other product types that must choose tactics based on stage and audience behavior.
