What changed.
Week 0
Tidepool had good unit economics and no repeatable channel. Every customer had come from the founders’ own network.
During the program
We ran three channel tests in parallel. Freight-forwarder partnerships won by a wide margin, so the team cut the other two by week 8.
Week 16
Monthly revenue went from $28k to $88k, with 61% of new bookings arriving through partners.
