My business partner (24M) and I (23M) are cofounders of a productivity app. We don’t have a ton of experience building a company from the ground up, and now that we’re in the process of it, we’re realizing that there is a lot of random little bs that comes with running a startup.
Recently, we launched a waitlist for our app and after working with some influencers to give away free access it gained 5k+ signups. We’re stoked about it but we’re having a hard time organizing everything in a way that makes sense for us. At the moment, we’re a six-person team and everyone’s waaay past max capacity so we don’t have a ton of time to mess around with different CRM trials.. What we want to do is to create solid data with the company/user profiles, role, contact info, notes, and such, and from this, we eventually want to prioritize users from the waitlist. Right now, everything is just in a google sheet, straight from the lead form submission. While we have a big list of signups, we don’t know who’s valuable. We have to do some manual onboarding andset up for them so we can’t just open the floodgates. We need an automated way to organize and prioritize getting them off the waitlist and into the app because constantly doing manual LinkedIn lookups is not realistic long term.
