🚀 🚀 ! Huge new release!! We're thrilled to announce that Heatseeker's latest release means marketing teams can now run 7 different kinds of market experiments. Live in minutes. Complete in 6-9 days. Real insights from real people in the real world. Every experiment deepening your confidence in your target audiences, your product, your go to market, your next ideas. You can now test: -Buying drivers / product benefits: what is THE number one (and number two while you're at it!) reason why people buy your product? How does that differ from segment to segment? -Product feature test: What features (both current and coming soon) matter most to each key segment? -Language test: What is the exact language / expression of the value proposition that appeals best to each key segment? Are you running a “market test” or a “market experiment”? -Campaign creative test: Which creative concepts appeal best to each key segment? (Think beyond digital here - has your out of home been tested?) -Go-to-market test: Should we do free delivery or 10% off? Will subscription work? -Video creative test: Which video treatment works best? Does video outperform static? -Idea test: Ethically and responsibly run tests for new ideas that are not yet live to support your incubation pipeline If you ask us nicely we can even set you up with a competitor and global exemplar value prop test to test your value props and features live against theirs. We recommend that this experiment rescrapes and reruns every 90 days for ongoing monitoring.  Let's talk about which are better off in sequence and which can be stacked. Let's find the heat!

Tech venture investing is mostly about predicting the probability of startups succeeding. You’d expect early-stage tech investors to be reluctant to publicly admit when they’ve been wrong. But 2024 didn’t work out the way we’d expected — for us, or for M8 Ventures. Actually, it’s worked out better than we expected, and in surprising ways. Thanks most of all to the founders we’ve invested in this year: Anna, Balint, Jackson, Josh, Lenin, Mathieu, Michael, Nikki, Paloma, Roland, Sam, Sara, Sean, Thiru, Tony and Vishnu. You have so many achievements yet to come. We see you, and we believe in you. Read more on how and why we made the investments we did in 2024 and hear from from some of our portfolio founders: https://lnkd.in/gquBRbFf
