How to quickly diagnose
I've recorded over 200 podcast episodes with Web3 founders.
Want to know something strange?
Only 5 mentioned revenue.
Five. Total.
The rest? Democratization, decentralization, tokenomics...
Everything except actual business metrics.
Your Business Is Like a Car
Every Web3 startup runs on four tires:
Attention - Are people discovering you?
Pipeline - Are you moving attention toward action?
Conversion - Are people buying or investing?
Retention - Are they coming back repeatedly?
When your startup isn't growing, one tire is flat.
Most founders try to fix everything at once:
Redesigning tokenomics
Revamping Discord
Rebuilding product
Stop.
Fix one tire at a time.
Which Tire Is Flat?
Quick check:
Attention: Invisible founder?
Pipeline: Followers don't become subscribers?
Conversion: Attention but no sales?
Retention: Users don't return?
Ask yourself these questions and find your flat tire.
