Marc Lou spent 90 minutes in the tmaker Founders Room and answered everything the gems that stuck with me: 1. his DataFast launch got 1,000 likes and $300 MRR. that's what his entire audience was worth. word of mouth took it from $300 to $25k/month. an audience gives you a shot, it doesn't make the product work 2. he builds "clickbait features". before shipping anything he asks: would users screenshot this? the DataFast globe exists because of that question. your customers sharing beats you promoting, every time 3. he doubled his prices with a 30-day notice to existing users. MRR 2x'd. (maybe I pushed him on this one 😅) 4. his whole AI setup is Codex + localhost. yes, that's it no agent stack, no 10 subscriptions he said 90% of new AI tools are just noise. he is the most productive shipper I know and he has the most boring stack 5. he never kills projects, he "lets them be" all 35 of his projects are still live, support still answered one of them had zero customers for a month, he kept using it himself and kept shipping.. first customer came 2 days before our call next Friday, we do it again opening the tmaker Founders Room for the next 4 days so you can join: see you there
