Zero-to-$10k MRR wedge — Product analytics for Segment shops

draftVol. I · 10 chapters
01Executive summary

Northwind Studio is an early-revenue agency serving founder-led B2B SaaS. The main constraint is inconsistent inbound; the strongest near-term opportunity is a founder-led LinkedIn motion paired with a productized $6k sprint offer . Focus the next ninety days on one channel per week, ship the offer page, and instrument close rate by lead source.
