First-time founders write essays. Second-time founders circle the answer. Here’s what I mean 👇 🙋♂️“How are you going to get distribution?” Me as a first-time founder: 🗣️“We’ll start with Product Hunt, oh and som…

I may get pushback on this one. Everyone says a CEO's #1 job is recruiting. I disagree. My most important job? Being on standby to unblock my team. As CEO, I'm not here to plan meticulously. I'm here to be interrupted…

My last startup had a completely free product. Then one day, we decided to add a paid plan... and lost 50% of our signups. That day is forever etched in my memory. Did we change the free plan? No. Did we make anyone…

I live in the blue house. That open window is my office. First off, everyone in my house is safe, including both cats. But when this video was shot, I was in tears on the sidewalk as I had only managed to get one of t…

We've been pretty busy building over here, and I'm genuinely proud to bring you: 🤖 Bot-free capture – including full speaker attribution and mute-acknowledgement, without requiring a bot in the room. First to do it. �…

Update: we just pulled ahead of Anthropic for #1 on Product Hunt 🤯 But voting closes in 3 hours and the lead is razor thin. If you haven't shown your support yet, now's the moment: https://producthunt.com 🙏 To everyo…

Fathom.ai 3.0 is live on Product Hunt today and we're currently sitting at #2, right behind Anthropic. Not bad for a 90-person team going head to head with one of the biggest names in AI 😅 If you haven't seen what we…

A week in, and I’m still reveling in the excitement of this. When we started Fathom.ai, AI meeting tools weren’t a category yet. We just knew meetings were broken. Too much cognitive load. Too many lost decisions. Too m…

We didn’t just launch a new brand. We launched a new era for Fathom. What started as a “Zoom notetaker” has grown into something bigger — your AI-powered meeting partner. One that: → Captures your conversations (soon…

Proud of what our team built for HubSpot INBOUND in San Francisco 🎉 An 80's style arcade where you can play games, earn tokens, and win cute prizes. 👉 If you’re a Fathom user, today’s your last chance to stop by and…

In 2 years, meetings won’t just be for talking. They’ll be for manifesting. We’re already seeing the first signs of this. AI meeting assistants can take your notes, draft your emails, update your CRM. But this is just…

Our onboarding was trash for our first year. That was on purpose. ⬇️ Early on, we were manually onboarding users. We’d send you a link, walk you through connecting your Zoom account, and hope you made it through the…

The biggest mistake when trying to build a PLG product: trying too many things at once. - Building out the core functionality - Building out the onboarding - Worrying about retention - Trying to monetize Any ONE of the…

PLG isn’t the cheat code you think it is. “Build it, slap a free plan on it, and users will come.” Nope. ❌ Here's the truth. When we started Fathom - AI Meeting Assistant, we decided to focus on viral growth to lean i…

❌ “How do we get a ton of users?” ← wrong question ✅ “How do we get our first 100 / 1k / 10k users?” ← right question What got you here won’t get you there. To me, a cardinal sin in early-stage startups is believing t…

I think “strategic planning" is overrated for CEOs. I obsess over my information diet instead. Put another way: I focus on my “inputs” rather than my “outputs” ⬇️ I’ve known some founders to schedule strategic blocks…
