How Behance Solved the Chicken-and-Egg Problem

Most successful businesses start by doing things that aren't scalable.

"Behance, now a 40-million-member creative network acquired into the Adobe ecosystem, came up with an elegant solution to this timeless dilemma: → Eliminate the perceived ‘effort investment’ by onboarding the first 100 ideal users manually.

"Nobody really wanted to set things up themselves on a platform without any traffic, so we did a lot of it ourselves.” — Scott Belsky, co-founder of Behance By providing a white-glove service for their early ICP, they created a foundation of high-quality portfolios that shaped the future of the platform."
