Great new feature Lukas!

Congrats guys! Looking forward to play with my replacement monocle soon 🤞

Congrats on the launch!

Direct mail is cool for B2C. But depends a lot on your segment.

Here're our recent takeaways from doing a launch within 24 hours https://twitter.com/eugenehp/status/1432775802370674688

Nice, just added to the trending section here: https://www.awesomefintech.com/company/paytm-payments-bank-e6eyw/

To choose my environment and friends with a better focus on what I want to do next. To try things fast and get feedback early.

Great idea and decent execution. I saw some other guys livestream the whole experience of building the thing. Could be quite useful for #buildinpublic movement.

At some point, you'll find out that you can make money in many different ways. And if you don't go for the FMF, you'll end up running a business you're not passionate about. So if you run a business, why would you create yourself a full-time job you don't like doing?

100% I'd go as far as actually make it part of the company's policy. if you're overworked or if you have a burnout it will end up costing you more than you think.

Last year we went in a very non traditional way for the Bay Area, and became one of few faith-centric tech businesses. After spending 15+ years in tech, I can see how impactful the decision of putting people and values first can be.

I agree with @surender_singh, offering freemium product helps to break the ice. also reddit/twitter helps to build early relationships and address the need of your audience. Also recent trend is community > audience

I can relate to the 1st mistake, eventually that's what stayed in my mind at 2am. Reason: I was out of the content ideas and needed some sleep. In general: If you address your launch as a community event, you'll have much better chances to stay on course. This is what ProductHunt team did themselves in the early days.

I'm curious to see what community thinks too! On my end I think there are two good reasons: 1) Customers have been asking you for a feature/product a lot, and you addressing that need by releasing it publicly (Spotify pods) 2) You have a way to "wow" your users, and you release it too (OpenAI) How not to do a launch: - Like Facebook does, A/B test your users until they are sick from their ads 🤣
