What they did
Posted offers on Reddit and Indie Hackers to make free Supademos for founders: they posted their product URL, Joseph built an interactive demo of their product himself and replied in the thread with it, so they could sign up, duplicate the demo and use it right away. Doing it publicly meant people who hadn't commented saw all the demos, clicked them, and either asked for one or signed up to make their own. Repeated variations across many channels.

In their words
Starter Story · How This $250K/Month SaaS Got Its First 100 Users (Steal This Playbook)“So, I personally offered to create free Supademos for founders on Reddit, as well as Indie Hackers. And what I asked them to do is post their product URL.”
“And the added benefit of doing that publicly was that other people who hadn't even commented would see all of the other products and the links being posted.”
