Premoney List 8

Hi everyone & welcome to List 8…the hype(docs) continues!

Premoney is a weekly digest of 10 super early-stage companies that launched a product, mvp, or beta in the past few weeks. Help me amplify the work of these founders.

A warm welcome to our new subscribers! Please reach out with feedback, suggestions, and requests.

Premoney is going paid…

…but don’t freak! The paid version of Premoney will provide subscribers (limited to investors only) the ability to connect with founders by providing contact info & warm intros when applicable. If you’re an investor and are interested in any of these companies, go paid and get introduced! The free tier will still hear from me every week with the list, and other content to help support the featured founders.

For the next few weeks, I’m running a 50% off deal for the first group of subscribers, please message direct if you have any questions.

Note: The premium $$ will predominantly be used to allow me to continue to test & scale out new ways of supporting founders: Masterminds, Curated brainstorms, Hackathons and other programs in the works.

The Founder Mastermind: ConversionCrimes.com

Last Tuesday we ran a “mastermind” session with Quinn Zeda, the founder of ConversionCrimes, a UX research platform built for startups and agencies. We brought 3 other founders to review, critique & dig into how Quinn can build out better, higher converting pricing structures.

Our visiting founders:

• Aashni Shah: Founder of Hypedocs & Taonga (see the list!)

• JR Rosillo: Founder of Minerva Robotics

• Scott Hanford: Mentor, 500 Startups & Betaworks

Some choice learnings:

• Don’t use the pricing page to sell.

• Once people are on the pricing page, they should know everything they need to know.

• Pricing calculators are powerful tools to increase CVR & for masking user research with a good, personalized UX.

Let me know if you know any founders looking to work through a specific issue, and we’ll pull a mastermind together with them!

This weeks list:

• 10 Companies

• 90% female or bipoc founders

• Many different angels on culture (personal, friendships, company)

Highlights & Jobs from the list:

• Jam launched on Product Hunt today. Support them with an upvote!

• Another founder, Jake Singer, writes about business Flywheels and often covers a lot of the new business models we’re seeing in the Premoney Companies.

• Amnesia Media is hiring a full-stack engineer & graphic designer/

• 15% off Hypedocs using code “PREMONEY”

All for today! Please continue to share, support and recommend new ways that Premoney can amplify the work of these founders.

Talk soon,

Jake
