Marketing agents that understand your code. Layers generates a growth plan and helps run it - content, social posting, ads, and insights - so you can keep building while users come in
For nearly 30 years, I’ve built product after product - shipped them, launched them, celebrated them.
And I know that feeling.
Launch day: 🚀 You’re on top of the world. Finally, your product is live. You know people will love it.
The next morning: 📉 Zero users. No installs. No signups. Just… silence.
It feels like getting punched in the stomach.
So we built Layers.
Layers is the easiest way to turn your code into customers.
The name Layers is deliberate. Every marketing tactic and playbook is a layer:
Some long-lived (Google Ads, Meta)
Some opportunistic (UGC waves, Shorts trends)
Some deeply technical (SDKs, attribution, data loops)
The only constant is that there will always be new layers to try.
Instead of handing you a marketing plan and saying “good luck”…
We act.
How Layers Works 🚀
🔗 Connect your GitHub (optional, but powerful) We analyze what you built, who it’s for, your tone, aesthetic, ICP - automatically.
🎯 We recommend a stack of “Layers” Not a vague strategy - a set of actions tailored to your product.
⚙️ We execute With your permission, we:
Research and generate content
Distribute to TikTok, Instagram, and soon YouTube Shorts, X, Reddit and more
Analyze performance & extract insights
Feed that data back into future content
📈 When content wins, we scale it Our agent Elle (your CMO) suggests next steps. Stay in the loop as much as you want. As you build trust, you can defer decision making at a granular level, if you choose to. Elle is available on the web and through iMessage/SMS.

When the time is right, we’ll suggest that we launch & optimize ads for you across:
Meta
TikTok
Apple Search Ads
Google
Or skip ahead and activate ads on day 1.
🎥 Need UGC? A couple clicks is all it takes. We source, manage, and optimize creators for you.
🧠 If GitHub is connected, we go deeper
PRs for ad network SDK integrations
Attribution tracking setup
Closed-loop performance optimization
For every layer, you’re always in control.
Who Is Layers For?
Indie hackers
Mobile app builders
SaaS founders
Developers who want distribution but hate marketing
If you love building but don’t love pulling marketing levers - this is for you.
We’re on a Mission
We want to solve that emotional roller coaster developers face, once and for all.
Not every product will succeed.
But every developer deserves a real shot.
Layers exists to give you that shot.
We’re live today and would love your feedback.
Ask me anything - about ad tech, Snap, SDKs, growth loops, UGC, attribution, or the ugly emotional side of launching.
When someone already uses a stack like ChatGPT + Canva/CapCut + Buffer + basic analytics, what’s the exact workflow you replace—and which parts do you intentionally *not* automate because they’re too risky or too founder-specific?
Congrats on the launch!
What kind of products fit well with Layers? Can you do content for developer tooling?
Hey Mike, that punch in the stomach feeling of launching something you’re proud of and waking up to silence is brutal. After 30 years of shipping products, was there a specific launch where that morning after hit especially hard?
Sounds super interesting! Funny enough, we have a Product called Layers too!
Super excited to finally share what I've been building with long-time friends. Layers is the missing ingredient for builders like me. I have a long history of launching apps and never following through on the marketing side — I do what I do best, and that's build products. Layers solves that critical gap: gaining traction, installs, and growing revenue. Something that used to take a dedicated marketing team and months of work, you can now kick off in minutes. What a time to be alive!
