KONVOY Dev Log Week 12: Pre-Launch Content and Final Preparations
A major milestone reached with over 250 curated routes added to KONVOY, as we prepare for the imminent App Store launch while reconnecting with the car community.
Current KPIs
As we approach our public launch, we’re maintaining a stable beta testing group:
- Waitlist/Beta signups: 24 🚗 (unchanged from last week)
With MVP development nearing completion, we’re preparing to scale up our customer outreach efforts.
Talking to Customers
This weekend brought another opportunity to attend Caffeine and Octane, which saw excellent turnout thanks to great weather conditions. While one-on-one conversations were limited due to the crowd size, the event provided valuable insights into our marketing approach for car shows and reinforced our understanding of the car community’s dynamics.
These events continue to be invaluable for staying connected with car culture and refining our strategy for community engagement.

How We’re Feeling
The stagnation in waitlist growth over the past three weeks is admittedly disappointing, and we recognize it’s partly due to reduced direct outreach efforts during our intense development phase. However, this temporary plateau is balanced against the excitement of being on the cusp of our App Store launch, expected within the next week or two.
Looking ahead, we’re planning to reinvigorate our community engagement efforts while maintaining the development momentum we’ve built. The addition of 250+ curated routes represents a significant value proposition for our initial launch, and we’re confident this content will help drive user adoption once we’re live on the App Store.
