Comment on Ask HN: What celebrities read emails about startups?parent

Comments

I know, but respectfully, one day spent on contacting people to get the word out is almost always a poorer use of time than figuring out what people want and building it. People, particularly people for whom it is their first rodeo, overestimate the impact of gatekeepers, PR, influencers, etc.

Who's the #1 person you could hope to get the word out in the world? Wave a magic wand and get them, and you'd probably find that this gets you zero additional users at the margin.
