Rachel Dove is the founder of Dungeons Not Dating, a platform helping players find tabletop parties. After setbacks and a beta year, she rebuilt, learned to code, and relaunched with a waitlist-first growth strategy.

Top 3 Value Bombs

1. Traction is behavior, not enthusiasm. Likes and compliments don't equal conversions or retention.

2. Setbacks are data; they reveal skill gaps and show you exactly what to improve before your next move.

3. Ownership is freedom. Technical literacy changes your leverage, your confidence, and your outcomes.
