Aug 3, 2026 · 30 min View episode Building Stacklist: Month One in Growth Building Stacklist: Month One in Growth In this stack, two new Stacklist hires — Nick Gebhardt and Ivanha Paz — share their experiences and lessons learned during their first month working in marketing, sales, and growth. Through a candid video discussion and supporting resources, they offer a ground-level view of what it takes to build momentum for a startup introducing a new product category. Stacklist itself is a platform designed to help creators, professionals, and teams organize and share curated resource collections — replacing scattered links with browsable, followable hubs. The team's initial growth strategy centers on extensive outreach to real estate agents, a vertical chosen for its natural fit: agents maintain valuable lists of trusted service providers and need ways to stay relevant with clients. By helping agents digitize these lists into accessible Stacklist hubs, the team demonstrates clear, immediate value. Selling a new product category presents inherent challenges, so the team emphasizes helpfulness over hard selling, leverages personal networks to open doors, and highlights differentiating capabilities such as AI discovery and efficient organization that go beyond simple bookmarking tools. Together, Nick and Ivanha's first-month reflections illustrate practical lessons in startup growth — from identifying the right target audience and crafting a value proposition, to navigating the uncertainty of introducing an unfamiliar product to the market. Their experience underscores the importance of hands-on outreach, genuine relationship-building, and clearly articulating how a new tool solves real problems for its users. Jul 3, 2026 · 20 min View episode How Stacklist Concierge Builds Content Hubs How Stacklist Builds a Hub: Inside the Concierge Team This stack offers a behind-the-scenes look at how Stacklist's concierge team hand-builds client hubs, drawn from a podcast episode of Building Stacklist. Hosted by Ivanha Paz, a Stacklist curator, the episode features concierge specialist Kashish Jain walking through the full hub-building process from client onboarding to launch. Despite Stacklist being software simple enough that, as Kash puts it, even a five-year-old could build a card, every client receives a dedicated human concierge who builds their hub end to end. Kash frames the role through a memorable analogy: like a hotel concierge who knows the area cold and ensures a seamless stay, the Stacklist concierge team acts as "content concierges," translating client strategy into polished, curated hubs of stacks and cards. The episode details the key stages of the concierge workflow: translating a hub strategy into curated cards, verifying content, creating demo hubs that matter as much as the final product, and performing weekly refreshes to keep everything current. The stack also includes team profiles for both Kashish Jain and Ivanha Paz, an episode guide consolidating all key takeaways, and links to the Stacklist Directory — a curated space where creators share collections of tools, picks, and insights they rely on most. Together, these resources paint a clear picture of how Stacklist combines simple, accessible software with hands-on human expertise to deliver resource hubs built for creators, professionals, and teams.
