Across the programme's 45 days we talk about retention more than once. Here is the short version of those conversations, aimed at what gets shown on Friday.
Why it matters
Because an investor's first question is exactly about this. Retention is not a task you finish once; it is a habit that comes back every week.
- Conversation first, code second
- Strangers, not friends
- The painful answer is the valuable one
An investor buys the rate of growth, not the idea.
How to do it
- Talk to ten people
- Put the answers in a table
- Pick the three most painful
- Sketch a solution for those three
- Show it to ten more
In practice
| Stage | What happens | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Week 1 | Conversations | Ten answers |
| Week 2 | First version | Something to hold |
| Week 3 | The test | One number |
Small numbers are still numbers. The big plan — short cycles, a result on Friday.
