we understood that if we could create our own distribution channels, we obviously didn't have the money to compete in AdWords or compete in that kind of game.

The Entrepreneur Experiment
EE502 - How He Turned 173 Salon Conversations Into a Startup That Raised €4.9M | Conor Moules

So there was no point even looking at it.

Do you know what I mean?

The Entrepreneur Experiment

But what we could do is storytell really compelling content and understood our customer and provide them a platform to almost tell their own stories, which in turn kind of digitizes word of mouth, which leads to digital land and expand.

Even today, content is a huge part of what we're doing, especially in the AI world.
