Summary
Your product didn't fail. No one saw it. The best product often loses Not because it's worse Because no one saw it Teams ship daily Marketing got faster too It just never stopped needing you Open the recorder. Fumble the demo. Redo it fifteen times. Edit Design Post Your flow is gone. So next time you don't bother That's how good products disappear Cyrus Kelly and co-founder David McDonough were involved in 11 startups. Every time, they became the marketing team Never once enjoyed it So they built tday Connect your GitHub repo Or point it at your product Every release becomes a demo video of the actual feature. On-brand graphics Published to your channels Ship an update and the demo updates itself Because it's tied to what your product does Not a one-time recording. Not three hours in tday instead of four hours in Canva. Minutes. Then never thinking about it again (unless you want to) The problem was never building It was that no one saw it Their mission is to make it so the best products do win. 🎙️ Cyrus Kelly , Co-Founder & CEO, Tday on Fondo START pod 00:20 — What tday does: marketing on autopilot for software companies 00:50 — Origin story: three engineers, 11 startups, always stuck doing marketing 01:35 — Why the best product doesn't always win 01:50 — Starting university at 13 02:15 — Building a student club platform with banking at 16 03:05 — The tech stack behind it 03:50 — Applying to YC four times 04:05 — Interviewing with Tom Blomfield 04:55 — How the product changed during the batch 05:35 — Not a better design tool: two minutes instead of hours 06:00 — Why repeated launches matter 06:30 — The idea of a product that records itself 06:50 — Who tday works best for 07:45 — Getting the domain 08:00 — What tday.com actually cost 08:45 — Eight months of wa…
