Latent Space: The AI Engineer Podcast · Railway: The Agent-Native Cloud — Jake Cooper · 20 May 2026 podcast

So yeah, a little diversion from wherever we started, but you know.

Oh, yeah.

Well, I mean, at the start, it's basically like, how do you get your first hundred users like hell or high water?

Right.

And so like starting in, you know, we had a website and we had a support link and the support link was the Discord channel.

And you just showed up there and I had notifications on.

I had two monitors.

I had the monitor I was working on and then I had the other monitor.

And if anybody came in, I was like.

oh hey how's it going like you know it's like and it was like super rare or whatever so trying to get those initial like first hundred users to like actually kind of come back to it um and that's i think where you can kind of like see the really like in between january 2021 and 2022 like probably the middle like they're kind of right and that's like the the start um and then you ultimately end up building a consultancy factory of like users wanted all of these things in in general and so you kind of have to

go back to the board a little bit and be like well what is the actual product offering that I want to build on top of these and I think like incidentally it's funny like I think VCs really want like charts that like always look like this or whatever right but I think in reality you actually don't want

charts that look like that.

Most companies, I think, or at least for us, there's been periods of like expansion of like, OK, we're going to go and add these features, like going into these use cases.

And then there's been periods of like compaction where we're saying like, OK, how do we have if the experience we have is really, really good, how do we make it significantly better?

Right?

Like, maybe we're even stripping out features that don't, like, fit our ICP anymore.

Like, how do we go in and do that?

And I think throughout this whole chart, you can see a lot of those things.

Like, the boom in the, like, 2022 to 2023 is, like, we had a free tier and, like, everybody under the sun was, like, using it and all those other things.

Discord bots.
