The founder notes that acquiring initial users is extremely difficult due to low conversion from cold emails and a lack of trust in the \"mutual marketing\" concept. The platform is currently live and free to use, with the founder seeking feedback and the first 10 real users for testing.", "body_md": "Running paid ads is expensive.
