Got it. There is more to it. We'll work on demonstrating that more on the landing page. Thanks!

Interesting, thanks for the feedback. The cards pictured are the core of the actual product. Do you think we should make it look more like a screenshot or declare that it is the actual product?

Hey, cofounders of TakeAim here.

We work for a small startup in SF and have been part of its growth from 4 to 40 employees. As it grew, we felt less connected to the company, and had less opportunity to affect various projects and details of the business. We missed that. We went from a single team standup of the whole company to multiple different standups segmented by function. We saw a problem and decided we wanted a solution.

We built a side project within 6 months and got buy-in and usage from our current company. In fact, they ended up paying for it. We couldn't keep up the nights and weekends though and worked on it less and less. While we still had the 1 happy paying customer, we failed to get any more to stick. After a few months of little to no work on it, we decided we wanted to make one more push towards user acquisition. We asked for an 8 week part-time sabbatical and compromised for a 1 week vacation. We are more than halfway through that week and are still struggling to gain traction.

Here is what we have tried:

Cold emailing product managers on LinkedIn Content marketing with a blog post about a common standup Posting in related sub reddits about startups and project management / agile Emailing past users

We don't think we are a simple standup replacement or aid, but most people view us as that. We do support stand-ups and make them better, but does our product do too much? Or did we solve a problem that only exists at our company?
