Cameo found product-market shape by narrowing the activity rather than starting with a narrow audience. A 13-second personalized video and a daughter’s reaction video demonstrated the emotional value before the marketplace existed. Early prices moved from $1 and $3 to $5, $10, $20, and $100, while shared reaction videos created a distribution loop. The practical lesson is to make the smallest transaction repeatable, then widen the audience.
