With the help of everyone’s feedback, here’s what we’ve built: So, what is Ship?įor the past several weeks, we’ve been using Ship to build Ship (meta!), beta testing with a few hundred awesome folks, from indie makers like Zach Holman to big companies like Shopify. Ship is useful for anyone building a product: pre-launch, at launch, and post-launch - because, after all, launching is not a one-time thing. So, we built a suite of tools to help makers find and communicate with their users, all in one place. Don’t underestimate the power of 1,000 true fans. We believe those that build product alongside their users stand a better chance of building something people want and establishing a base of evangelists to help spread the word. While there’s no right way to startup, we believe audience and community-building should start on day 1. ![]() Many start thinking about discovery and distribution the moment they launch publicly, enlisting the services of a #GrowthHacker or community manager often after the product’s shipped. While it’s a great time to be a maker, it can be difficult to get visibility for your product in an increasingly saturated market as technical risk to launch has lowered and more products fight for attention. Servers and technical infrastructures that were once unaffordable to most are now available for free. 13-year-old students from India and 81-year-old bankers from Japan alike can design, build, and ship products around the world, thanks to the rise of open-source, free online resources, and vibrant communities (to support them).
