   Julian Alvarez on Inventing The Future of Learning with AI at Wisdolia

   Getting Your First 1,000 Users + 10x Growth Strategies For Startups | #34 w/ Claudio Fuentes

   You've build something incredible but now you have to figure out how the hell you're going to find the first people that are going to use your product. So, how do you get your first 10, 100, and 1,000 users? And how do you bring in a consistent stream of users so that you can constantly get feedback on new product changes with a different cohort of users? In this episode, I spoke with Claudio Fuentes about how he and his startup, Leap, have gotten over 10k users in just over a month since launching. Leap recently went pretty viral after Elon Musk replied to a Tweet about Leap. Claudio discusses the mindsets and strategies around how to build a growth engine for your startup and constantly seek out 10x growth opportunities. Claudio is a 3x founder and currently the co-founder of Leap, an API that lets you integrate AI Image Generation into any app. Follow Claudio on Twitter: ⁠https://twitter.com/claud_fuen⁠ Connect with Claudio on LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/claudiofuen⁠ Check out Leap at: ⁠https://tryleap.ai⁠ ______________________________________________________________________ 🎙️ This podcast was recorded in a studio provided by Founder's Inc in San Francisco.

   Lessons Learned From Shutting Down My Startup | #33 w/ Claudio Fuentes

   Shutting down your company is perhaps one of the most difficult experiences that almost every founder has to go through at least once. You usually only hear success stories of startups raising millions of dollars and getting millions of users but that is far from the common reality. More than 90% of startups fail. So how do you deal with this tough reality? How do you communicate the news to investors and employees? And what mindset should you adopt moving forward so that you can get back on your feet? In this episode, I spoke with Claudio Fuentes about shutting down his previous company, Noonshot. Claudio is a 3x founder and currently the co-founder of Leap, an API that lets you integrate AI Image Generation into any app. Follow Claudio on Twitter: ⁠https://twitter.com/claud_fuen⁠ Connect with Claudio on LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/claudiofuen⁠ Check out Leap at: ⁠https://tryleap.ai⁠ ______________________________________________________________________ 🎙️ This podcast was recorded in a studio provided by Founder's Inc in San Francisco.
