What this video covers

The aha moment is the point where a new user first genuinely experiences a product's core value - the "oh, I get it, this is useful" click. It's the moment that turns a curious sign-up into someone who understands why the product is worth their time, and reaching it quickly is one of the strongest predictors of whether they'll stick around.

When the value moment came early, you "got it" and wanted to keep going; when it was buried behind setup and tours, you nearly left before feeling anything. That's the aha moment, and the whole game is reaching it fast. Find the specific action where your product's benefit lands, then clear everything between a new user and that moment.
