The Exchanges

Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on four things from 1 to 5: directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow), precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean. Full method →

Marie Ng no published score: no usable exchanges on raw tape, and a fair score needs 8+ record → ← everyone

Every exchange below was scored with names hidden, four dimensions each from 1 to 5. An exchange's score is 0.30·directness + 0.30·coherence + 0.25·precision + 0.15·compression. The published score averages the raw tape exchange scores and shrinks small samples toward the cohort mean, so five great answers can't beat twenty good ones. Produced feed rows count only toward coarse estimates, never toward a full score.

Q raise, you go on an accelerator, and you go on the VC path, I mean, it is on. It is growth at all costs. It's like, you've got to hit it, and if you don't, your, your optionality is like nil. It's very small. So, I mean, I guess, Talk to me about before you made that switch, 700 customers. Where were you in terms of revenue from those customers?

A Yeah. So the revenue is still very small with the 700 because, you know, originally when Lama Life started, it was a free app. Um, so it's a web app. And then we kind of went through different pricing models, right? So the first price was like four dollars one-time payment, and that was it. Um, it's, it's grown over time. So it's now at 50 dollars annual subscription. So that's quite a big difference. Um, so when we were at 700 paying customers, Half of those, half of those 700 were just one time payments. So it's kind of hard to, to kind of work that out. But I can tell you where we're at now. So we're at 950 paying customers. So it's not that far off from where the 700 was. And the MRR is at 18, about 1800.

Q Okay. So before the, before the six 90, really?

A Yeah. Yeah. So I guess with the accelerator, you know, the idea is to be able to let you work full time on it. So that's kind of what happened, right? As a solo founder, I took the hundred K gave away. Six percent was able to work full time on my business during the accelerator program, which was three months. And then after that, you know, at the end you do demo day. So with demo day, um, actually didn't raise any money from demo day, but it gave me some momentum. And it let me practice doing my pitch like hundreds and hundreds of times. And I ended up raising money after that. But, you know, as you know, raising money takes a while sometimes. So I think it took about Five months in total from, you know, when I first started to when the money actually hit the bank. Um, but what did you end up?
