GradeUp — Full Waitlist Funnel Built from Scratch
The project
Built a complete end-to-end waitlist funnel for a stealth college student platform launching June 2026. No existing brand, no audience, no funnel — just a brief and a blank page. Took it from zero to fully live in under a week.
The problem I was solving
Most early stage startups have interest but no system to capture it. People visit, get curious, and disappear. This funnel was built to stop that — turn interest into emails, and emails into launch-day users.
What I built
🖥️ Landing page in Lovable
High-converting waitlist page with Gen Z branding — bold black and yellow, chunky typography, mobile responsive. Hero section, lead magnet offer, social proof bar, and email capture. Built and live in under 2 days.
📄 8-page lead magnet PDF
"The Ultimate College Starter Checklist" — designed in Canva to match the brand. Covers essential apps, first week survival tips, study schedule template, science-backed study techniques, and insider college tips. Given free in exchange for an email signup.
📧 3-email nurture sequence in Brevo
Full automation built with triggers, delays, and exit logic:
→ Email 1 — instant delivery of the checklist + warm brand intro
→ Email 2 — high value study tip with zero pitch, pure trust building
→ Email 3 — full product reveal, waitlist exclusivity, drives replies
All written in a Gen Z consumer voice — short, punchy, zero corporate speak.
Results
→ 100% conversion rate on warm traffic
→ Full 3-email automation live and tracking open rates
→ Entire funnel shipped in under 1 week

What I'd do next
A/B test the landing page headline to optimise for cold traffic. Add a referral mechanic — refer a friend, move up the waitlist — to drive organic signups. Layer in a fourth email 2 weeks before launch to re-engage the list.
