Today we chat with Tibo Louis-Lucas founder of the amazing popular apps TweetHunterPro and LinkedIn Automation app Taplio.
We chat about how he built these two products with rapid iteration. During the pandemic he was building a new product every week for months until he found a hit (or two).
He went through 7 failed products before he found Tweet Hunter Pro and it was a slow steady climb to success. Taplio also became wildly successful as LinkedIn content creation took off.
This is an amazing conversation with a wicked smart founder and all around good guy.
