Hi PHers, what is your most precious learning or insight during startup?

Keep learning new things and staying calm, not letting market noise distract you.

Have a strong belief in your ideas, understand customer needs, build a complementary team, be flexible and adaptable, manage resources effectively, build good relationships, learn from failure, and continuously learn and improve. That's what I learned recently.

Keep It Simple and Stupid!

Take a risks with investors money, not with your own 😁

Launching a successful startup involves a lot of hard work, dedication, and commitment, and it takes time to see results. It requires founders to stay focused, dedicated, and adaptable, managing day-to-day tasks, managing finances and fundraising, and competing for market share. Setbacks and failures are part of the process, and staying patient and persistent through the highs and lows can lead to success in the long run. Additionally, having a strong support network of mentors, advisors, and partners can help founders stay accountable, stay focused on their goals, and keep the faith when things get tough.

the launch requires deep preparation in advance, this applies to both the product itself and the audience.

How to sell is as important as what is selling.

Most people don't give a shit. That's ok. Find the ones that do.

🤔From MVP to launch, building relationships with our target audience is crucial. Through the process, we can receive a lot of meaningful feedback from followers. For example, our team created 'hummin' (Next week, launching soon😎)! In fact, hummin came about as a result of the careful consideration and effort put into building an audience and sustaining engagement on Twitter. ⭐️If you guys are active users on and would like to be one of them, 'hummin' would be a very useful tool for you to enhance your productivity. 😆

Delegate or die.

My most precious learning for the moment is : never wait to speak to potential users and test your idea first.

Keep going and stay focused

@dot_brand That one needs to be flexible, open to constant iterations, and open to ideas. The best advise can come from the most unexpected source. Oh, and that Distribution > Product.

Launch your idea/product before Google does!

Don't be afraid to do the experiment and make unlimited first-time mistakes; learn from them and never repeat the mistakes.

My personal favorite advice is: Don't look too much at other creators or start-ups. They might have more success now, but if your idea is good and you are dedicated to it: Keep working on it and making it better, stay in it at all costs. You will be rewarded eventually!

Launch as early as you can. We had the most valuable launch on Product Hunt when we posted on Hacker News and somebody hunted our product. We knew about the launch 3 days later. 😅

We work to get the job done. Titles don't matter. Seniority doesn't matter. If you see something that should be done, take ownership over it (it doesn't necessarily means you'll be the one ending up doing it). No task is beneath you, or outside of your responsibilities.

One of my most precious learnings during my startup journey has been the importance of staying flexible and adaptable. As entrepreneurs, we often have a vision for what our startup will be, but as we start executing our plans, we may encounter obstacles or unexpected opportunities that require us to pivot or adjust our strategy.

Accept the fact that failure is part of the journey and without failure there's no growth.
