When someone agreed to try Stripe, the Collison brothers didn’t send a link. They said “give me your laptop” and set it up on the spot.
Paul Graham, “Do Things That Don’t Scale”, 2013Every company starts with one customer. Hulby finds yours.
The AI cofounder that finds the people asking for what you built, writes what to say to them, and stays on it with you every day until they pay.
No founder should give up before their first customer.
Most products don’t die because they’re bad. They die quietly, in the weeks between launch and the first person who pays, because nobody was finding the customers. That stretch is the only thing Hulby works on.
One person at a time
The way Stripe, Airbnb and DoorDash found their first customers. Not ads, not hacks.
Honest, always
Every reply says plainly that you’re building something. Hulby never posts for you.
Your idea stays yours
Your answers and your customers are private. Nothing is shared or used to train anything.
Meet Hulby. Your cofounder for the first customers.
He finds them
Every day Hulby searches Hacker News, Bluesky and Reddit for people describing your problem in their own words, and brings you the ones worth talking to.
He writes to them
Replies that help first, DMs and cold emails written from what each person said, follow-ups for the ones who went quiet. You edit, copy and send.
You close them
A pipeline that says who is waiting on you, a founding offer when they’re ready, and the count that matters on every screen: paying customers.
He works while you sleep.
Every night Hulby looks again, writes replies for the best new people and drafts follow-ups for anyone who went quiet. In the morning you get three moves, already prepared.
- New people every morning, each with a link to what they wrote
- Replies and follow-ups waiting in “From Hulby”
- About 30 minutes a day is enough
A page that collects your first customers.
No site yet, or one that doesn’t convert? Hulby writes a one-screen page from your answers. Everyone who leaves their email lands in your pipeline, so you can talk to them the same day.
- Written for you, edited in a minute
- Live at your own address the moment you publish
- Every sign-up shows up in Hulby as a person to talk to
