My journey in a nutshell 💫

In high school, I built a community for student makers from around the world called Feathrd to help them build their ideas to life 🌱Helped 100+ students from 15+ countries build & launch their side-projects on Product Hunt where I eventually landed an internship after school and went on to become their Head of Social 😸I spent 2+ years at Product Hunt learning as much as I could about tech, community, and social and helped grow their Twitter from 200K to 400K+ followers all organically in my time there 🐣After Product Hunt, I joined Opal to help people build healthier screen-time habits, moved to Paris, and got Sando in the process 🐕At Opal, I worked on defining the brand voice from scratch as well as defining what community meant to the company. I got my hands deep in building the early product, community, social media, brand, growth, content, and launch strategy 💎After ~2 years at Opal, I took the leap into the vast world of crypto, DeFi, and web3 at Alongside and worked on making the space more understandable and accessible for everyone through creating educational content while also building their brand from scratch 🤝After dabbling with community in venture capital for a bit,
I recently helped stoic. (YC S19) grow organically through ASO, SEO, and community initiatives including researching and writing content and guided journals on mental health.After stoic, I joined the team at FirstBatch, a research lab working on decentralized AI, to lead all things growth and community for their two products, Dria (democratizing access to high quality synthetic data for devs to improve their AI models) and SWAN (a playground for onchain AI agents).On the side, I'm building Samooh – a community for Indian (origin) founders, builders, and makers focused on building global consumer products with Ivan Mehta.Last but not the least, I'm also working on autonomy where I curate the best tools and research on AI agents.Thank you for reading till the end!You can follow me on Twitter for all kinds of tweets that may or may not have anything to do with tech 😌

Hello there 👋🏽

Thank you for taking the time to read this and talk to me.I'd like to elaborate on some of my previous work for your reference:1. Product Hunt: The core of my work was to run their Twitter and you can see all my tweets through filtered search here - I doubled their followers to over 400K during my time there and their voice hasn't changed much since.I also contributed to building and engaging the community on the platform itself, helped write their newsletters, and helped execute other community initiatives including hosting official community meetups in India and California.In addition to that, I had the opportunity to work on support where I'd help thousands of founders and makers directly which ended up opening many doors and relationships in tech and press for me.2. Opal: I was their first full-time hire and was key in establishing their brand, community, beta testing, and launching their digital wellbeing app. Initially it was a more playful brand as you can see on Web Archive, but they've since pivoted to be more formal.They relied heavily on paid acquisition for growth and I did all the creatives that were used in the ads and worked on organic ASO as well. I also helped them get press across TechCrunch, The Next Web, and Bustle.Last but not the least, I worked on shaping the product through hundreds of user interviews, surveys, implementing features that'd impact growth, in-app copy etc.3. Alongside: This was my stint in the world of crypto/DeFi where I was again the first hire for growth/community/brand. My responsibilities here were more focused on education by breaking down complex technical/financial topics into simple, understandable English. I wrote Twitter threads on various topics and converted them into blog posts where I covered them with a bit more depth.They've shifted their focus from consumers to financial institutions and whales so they unfortunately scrapped the blog but you can still find my tweets and threads here. I did manage to recover some blog posts I had saved so happy to share them as well.I helped set up and moderate the official community on Discord which had thousands of members and also hosted many educational events and office hours on Twitter Spaces and Discord with experts and the team.5. Day One Ventures: I had a short stint at a small early stage VC firm that focused on helping their portfolio with PR & Comms. I helped them execute their 'Funded Not Fired' campaign and ran their Twitter & LinkedIn. I also helped a couple of portfolio companies with their launch and social strategies.6. stoic: I was their first full-time hire dedicated to growth/community/marketing and I worked on a variety of things including doing research and writing guided journals for the app, ASO, SEO, and organic user acquisition. I improved the rankings for the app for various relevant keywords that the app wasn't ranking for before which resulted in more impressions and downloads further reducing their dependency on Apple's featurings for growth. I also built their community from scratch on Discord and now it has over 3000 members organically in less than a year.7. FirstBatch: I led all things growth and community for their two products Dria (democratizing access to high quality synthetic data for devs to improve their AI models) and SWAN (a playground for onchain AI agents).Overall, I'm very used to wearing multiple hats in small teams remotely for 8 years now and still learn new things every single day. Thank you for reading till the end!Best,
Amrith & Sando 🦊
