A lot of people criticize @believeapp. But it’s changing our life and @subyhq’s 👇 Thanks to $SUBY, we’re iterating faster, executing our vision, and building the best crypto payments product. Quick recap of the last 5 months: I left Louis Vuitton after 3 years where I launched our NFT collection, Louis Vuitton VIA, to build Suby. Since January, we’ve been grinding: •Product discovery •Iterations •Backend / frontend / blockchain •MVP launched Our goal? Move fast, find real pains in crypto pain points, build something modular, adaptable, and scalable. These last 5 months have been the most intense of my life. Last month, we finally launched. •@base supported us on social •@jessepollak retweeted and commented. It felt unreal. But... this month has been the most frustrating so far: •0 clients from BD •Only 10 merchants onboarded •Just 10 payments processed I reached out to 100+ crypto SaaS companies. Always the same answers: - “We don’t have recurring volume in crypto” - “No real demand for recurring crypto payments” - “We’re focused on growth, crypto payments are just a nice-to-have” I even spoke to competitors (shoutout to Jasper from @coinsubio, @dalpattapaniya from @CopperxHQ, @YokiFinance Team, Atlos Team) and they were all honest: "There’s basically no volume to capture in crypto SaaS." 👉 4 months of work. 👉 And in 1 month, part of my vision went up in smoke. Two weeks ago, we jumped back in. Talked to users, re-iterated, did more product discovery. And a new need emerged with a clear customer demand but we had to move fast. Problem? We needed to hire to move fast, but had no money. No traction → no VC → no grant. And even if we raised, it would take too long. That’s when Believe came in. •We launched $SUBY •At first? Nothing. •Then… BOOM: $2M MC, $9M in volume, fees rolling in. What happened over the past 48h? - We used that cash to hire two freelancers. - Now our next feature will ship in days, not weeks/months And this is just the beginning.
