Who actually uses these products,
and what made them stay.

The Notion Second-Brain Builder

A solo founder, PM, or highly organized individual contributor who has made Notion the center of their work life. They have a workspace that would take three hours to explain to someone new. They've built custom dashboards, linked databases, and templates they're genuinely proud of. They've also started from scratch twice after a system got too complex to maintain. They believe the perfect Notion setup is always two weekends away.

“Not a single dramatic moment — more like a Tuesday at 3pm when they realized they hadn't thought about performance on large databases — the lag is a betrayal in two weeks.”

The Pitch Startup Storyteller

A startup founder, head of product, or strategy lead who creates presentations that need to look beautiful and tell a compelling story — investor decks, product roadmaps, board updates, customer pitches. They chose Pitch because it produces better-looking slides with less effort than PowerPoint or Google Slides. They value design defaults that make everything look good automatically. They collaborate in real time with co-founders and design team members. They are visual communicators who believe that how a story is presented is as important as the story itself.

“It happened mid-workflow — the founder is preparing for a Series A fundraising round.”

The Supabase Indie Hacker

A solo developer or indie hacker building a SaaS product where Supabase is the entire backend. They chose Supabase because it gives them Postgres, auth, storage, and real-time out of the box — and they can ship their MVP in a weekend instead of a month. They write SQL directly, use Row Level Security because they have to, and treat the Supabase dashboard as their admin panel. They are building a business alone and Supabase is the co-founder that handles the backend.

“The shift was quiet.”

The Pitch Deck Builder

A startup founder, sales director, or brand marketer who builds presentation decks that matter — investor pitches, sales proposals, quarterly business reviews. They chose Pitch because PowerPoint felt like 2005 and Google Slides felt like giving up on design. Pitch gives them templates that look professional and a collaborative workflow that doesn't require sending a file over email. They spend more time on decks than they'd like to admit. They care more about how those decks look than they'd admit in a meeting.

“An investor meeting is in 48 hours.”
