EdoStra has launched a comprehensive GitHub repository called Marketing-for-Founders that collects over 100 practical marketing resources for technical founders trying to acquire their first 10, 100, or 1000 users. The repository addresses a common pain point: most marketing advice targets VC-backed startups with big budgets, leaving bootstrapped founders without actionable guidance.

The collection includes categorized resources covering launch platforms like ProductHunt, Betlist, and Hacker News, social media strategies including building in public and social listening, cold outreach frameworks, SEO fundamentals, and emerging LLM SEO tactics for 2025. Each category contains specific tools, guides, and examples tailored for early-stage startups operating without marketing budgets.

What makes this repository valuable is its practical focus on actionable tactics rather than inspirational case studies. The founder acknowledges that marketing is tough for technical founders and provides concrete steps like LinkedIn post templates, cold email frameworks, and launch platform directories. The collection also includes specialized guidance for AI startups and iOS app developers, making it a versatile resource for founders across different industries.
