Product StrategyProven Pattern

Route support to social DMs until 10K MRR for daily user feedback flow

Instead of email support, direct support links to your Twitter/social DMs until product reaches 10K MRR. This forces daily conversations with users, creates personal connection, enables instant fixes (5-10 minutes) that create advocates. Email creates distance; DMs create relationships and learning velocity.

When to use

For pre-PMF products under 10K MRR where founder learning is more valuable than support efficiency

Don't do this

Setting up formal email support system that creates distance and delays before product-market fit
