Progress One

PulseFactory

One pipeline for all products. Marketing on autopilot.

Problem — 2

Marketing is broken for indie studios

  • Each product needs its own marketing stack — expensive and slow
  • Manual content creation burns founder time on low-leverage work
  • No feedback loop between signals, content, and growth metrics

Solution — 3

One AI-powered pipeline, all products

  • Product Brief in → full marketing output on autopilot
  • Signal engine monitors Reddit, HN, Twitter in real time
  • Kill/Grow scoring cuts losing products early, doubles down on winners

What PulseFactory does

Signal Engine

Reactive + proactive monitoring across Reddit, HN, Twitter, reviews.

AI Content Generator

12 content types: social, blog, email, ads, landing pages.

Kill/Grow Scoring

Weekly Bayesian decision engine — kill it or 2x it.

Market — 5

A $12B market with no dominant AI-native player

The content marketing software market is $12B and growing. AI-native competitors are fragmented — none cover the full studio→product→channel loop.

Competitive landscape

Alternatives

Buffer / Hootsuite Scheduling only — no AI generation or kill/grow decisions
Jasper / Copy.ai Single-product copywriting — no pipeline or analytics
HubSpot Enterprise CRM — too heavy for indie studios

Our edge

  • Only platform with end-to-end signal → content → decision loop
  • Built for multi-product studios, not single brands
  • Self-hosted option for teams with data-sovereignty requirements

Growth — 9

Growth strategy

Acquisition via SEO content (indie maker communities) + Product Hunt launch. Retention through weekly kill/grow reports that surface ROI directly.

Core loop: Signal → Content → Publish → Metrics → better Signal
