Ep 1 - Wisdolia - Hitting a homerun on your 2nd startup attempt and quickly discovering whether your product is sticky enough to monetize

Welcome to the first episode of the P99 podcast! In this episode we interview Julian Alvarez, the founder of Wisdolia who has built an AI note taking app for students that want to build flash cards faster. A critical question that founders face when iterating on their product is when its worth monetizing their product, and which features specifically are the most valuable to their users to start monetizing. We go into detail of Wisdolia’s product, the early days of the products evolution, and the techniques they used to rapidly detect product market fit with their userbase. This is one of the fastest launches out of the gate i’ve observed where users immediately started paying for a paid tier once it was released, and Julian shares some really insightful techniques that they used to rapidly understand their power users core problems. I really love hearing about the early days of startups, and Wisdolia has a truly magical origin story where things fell into place very quickly after all the learnings from a previous startup attempt, so please give a listen to this episode and let me know if you’d like to hear an update to their journey so far.
