Make a great product. -- > this is an iterative process as per me. Unless users come and try it out, you won't know what a great product looks like.

The need is real, and the problem is real. I am one of the users myself. I built it because I felt the need myself. I ran the MVP with 15 others in my network with similar profiles. Quesiton is how to scale beyond that.

Is there any word of mouth ("virality") among your existing user-base?

Virality can be the key to growth, and it can be engineered.

I almost didn't buy the great book The One Billion Dollar App because of hits clickbait title, but it actually well-elaborates the mechanics (and the mathematics) of viral spread of apps, which not by coincident corresponds to the familiar formulas that people will have seen during the CoViD19 pandemic ("r-coefficient", r or R0 [1]).

For example, if you have a mobile app that gives you something free for each friend you invite to it, it may encourage some folks to share with r friends...
