We are outside of Y Combinator giving away free haircuts and GLP-1s to see how many we can turn into customers. It's 21 days to demo day. Stick around to see how many founders we convinced to inject peptides into their body. The barber truck, we parked it outside Y Combinator this morning and started cutting hair for free. No pitch, no sign up, no email, just a haircut. Nobody turns down a free haircut. Are you gonna take some drugs or what? So are you guys getting your haircut or getting peptides? I need to get a haircut. Both. I also need both. How often do you try it? It's good, right? We have a line outside in the barbershop and a line inside. for peptides. We are inside the YC's office and the doctor is in. Real patients, real peptides. Let's go. We're the only time we're going to be allowed to do peptides inside the YC office. Pretty sure someone's going to shut this down. It was incredible. Love doing peptides in the YC office. Do you feel energy coming already? I got shot. Are you here for a haircut or a peptide? I wish, bro. I wish. Neither. Neither? Not yet. I'm here for good coffee. All right, so that's a wrap. We had 32 free haircuts. We got three customers. That's a 9% conversion rate. I'm not sure if this scales, but it converts better than my website, so I will take it. See you tomorrow with 20 days left till demo day, where I'll be standing in PG's kitchen trying to convince him to take GLP-1s for the first time.
