Do We Eat Our Own Dogfood?

February 15, 2023

🐶 Do you eat your own dog food?

🔍Being a search engine for investors means this question comes up a lot!

💻 Both from startup users and investors.

🫡My answer is a resounding yes!

🏦 Back when we focused on subscriptions, we found our first VC customer (Balderton) via our search engine by seeing which VCs were at the forefront of the use of Data Science in VC.

💲We also have found VCs who also write small angel tickets via the search engine too, we’re hoping to convert the first one this week (he’s a personal hero of mine!).

🤝Using your own product isn’t just a great way to build trust with others…

It’s also a great way to find out the most important parts to improve next.
