1.5 million users

Hired 6 marketers. 1 dev and designer initially but let go after initial user growth.

Then I fired all 6 marketers and the funds stayed same or increased.

There should be a sales and monetization option after demo day.

Another one using script to automate clicking: https://cln.sh/F6kqFLLL

40 billion users by hiring everyone with team to marketers ratio of 1:3. Slowly fired non-marketing team members and moved to firing marketing near the demo day.

100 billion on another try by pumping marketing up initially to gain organic growth then coasting by using 2 developers until demo day
