In the first episode of the "Building In Public" series, the founder of Yuma (also referred to as Youma) gives a candid, informal update on the startup’s early‑stage activities. He explains the two‑track product vision – Yuma Skills (personal‑growth tools) and Yuma Agents (AI‑driven assistants) – and shows the work‑in‑progress product pages. He outlines the immediate operational priorities: finishing a new website, setting up a sales‑funnel, and testing an outbound email prospecting campaign. Early results from the email test (high open rates but limited responses due to a small list) are shared, along with plans to add personalization and to build an inbound content funnel. The founder also announces a commitment to publish a weekly video log that will include weekly metrics, client acquisition numbers, and behind‑the‑scenes insights. Personal context is woven throughout – the founder is working from a home office while caring for his daughter, expresses frustration with São Paulo’s traffic, and hints at a possible relocation to a quieter area. The episode ends with a concrete timeline: the new site and sales funnel should be live by early next week, after which outbound prospecting will ramp up.
