Devshop Studio

After weeks of sleepless nights and weekends, we finally launched it! With only five days left for this year's matric exam, we got to our free beta launch. We're gonna be publishing weekly updates. (Hopefully) 🔗saba.devshop.studio Made with ❤️ and lots of sleep deprivation.

30 students signed up! We almost forgot to update you guys on our progress.😅 Our waitlist signup for the AI tutor was something... We couldn't reach as many people as we'd hoped. 😔 NEVERTHELESS We generated around 1,800 impressions through reels, friends, and here on LinkedIn.  -> 135 people clicked the link. (Some of those were probably our friends) 🤦♂️ -> 30 students signed up for our beta waitlist. This gives us a -> 7.94% Clickthrough and ->22.22% Conversion rate A 2% to 5% clickthrough and conversion rate are generally considered good. Ours were through the roof! We can confidently say that our idea is validated.🧐 Btw, we're sharing our journey on Instagram. 📚✨  https://bit.ly/ms_saba Give us a follow ☝🏽 if you want to see how the product is made OR some devs shout at each other in the hopes of communicating properly. #NationalMatricExam #EthiopianEducation #AIEducation #EdTechJourney #StudentBetaTesting #LearningInnovation #EducationTech #TechStartup #EducationalTech #StudentSuccess #FutureTechEducation #DigitalLearning #EdTechCommunity #LearningTech #StudentEmpowerment #EdTechTrends #AIForEducation *Because LinkedIn likes faces*

We've all heard of Product-market fit. How many of us have heard about something called Idea-market fit? I recently had an idea for an AI tutor app to help students with their 12th-grade National Matric Examination. Last year, only 3.2% of students passed. There is a problem there. I didn't want to spend time building a product that nobody wanted to use or pay for, so I created a waitlist for a free beta program signup. This is the concept of idea-market fit, also called idea validation. Idea-market fit means checking if people actually want your idea before building it. It's like making sure there's a crowd that's interested in what you're planning to offer, ensuring you're not just creating something for an empty room. This is a gross simplification, but "Do you have Product-market fit?" “Are users paying for your product?” AND "Do you have Idea-market fit?" “Would you even have users?” Now that you got here, THIS WAS AN AD. If you know a loved one or a high school student who will take the Ethiopian 12th-grade National Matric Exam in the next 4 years, send them this link and tell them to share it with their friends. AD INCOMING... Facing the National Matric Exam? Don't let low pass rates hold you back. Join our AI tutor beta. Transform education with us. Your future starts now. 📚✨ https://bit.ly/sabaAI AD DONE! My team and I want to take on this project if and only if there is an overwhelming demand for it. We'll need a ton of users to test, iterate and make it the best it can be to help the next generation of students. Join us today to help shape the future of education. #NationalMatricExam #MarketResearch #EducationInnovation #EthiopianEducation #FutureOfLearning #IdeaValidation #BetaTesting *Us waiting on this waitlist to fill up*

User retention is one metric to see if you have product-market fit. If you do, you can increase your retention just by improving three things 👇

When did you change the mockups? 😅 Anyways, they're around Megenagna, Addis Ababa in Marathon Mall. Check them out! Full case study: https://lnkd.in/ds3GaeyN

Showing our frontend devs and designers some love.👌

Hiring good people who you can delegate to without worry is the best thing you can do for yourself and your company.

Having good customer testimonials also helps.😁
