Fomo's cold start playbook is a masterclass in product-market fit.
Day 1: 140 DAU. Most teams would panic and burn cash on ads. Fomo did the opposite — they went full degen mode on user feedback. Spent months in the trenches, grinding feedback loops, stripping friction from on-chain UX.
Then it clicked. 10x growth.
This mirrors Xiaomi's early MIUI days. 100 "Dream Sponsors" on a forum. Weekly updates. User names in boot screens. No fancy stores, no VC flex — just obsessive user worship. Those 100 became evangelists who cracked a saturated market.
The alpha for builders: Your first 100 users aren't beta testers. They're co-founders without equity. Treat them like it.
In crypto, narratives fade fast. But products that solve real pain? They compound. Fomo proved it. Focus on the early believers, iterate like hell, and let time do the rest.
Bullish on teams that understand this.
