How do you deal with hate comments about your product?

of real positive feedback means one bad-faith review doesn't get to set the tone for anyone landing on the page for the first time Comment from Omri Ben-Shoham(@omri_ben_shoham1): @Nika ha, fair point, fake reviews ... ...

Build your brand before your product, or launch first and reveal yourself later?
... started having a problem selling these things, because they cannot "give someone keys" to their personal profiles. Which opens the question: Which approach brings more advantages in your opinion? Comment from Sourav Mahapatra(@sourav_mahapatra1): The framing 'before
vs
after the product' misses the actual mechanic. Brand and product compound in parallel when you ship work in public. The CEO building a personal brand without a product to point at is one thing. But by the time the product exists ... ... makes pricing easier. Products from anonymous creators compete on price. Products from known practitioners with a track record compete on trust.

A more personal topic: Having (or not having) a family while building a business?

How to communicate price increases to existing customers?
... upgrade before the end of the month, you will keep the current price forever. Comment from sietse schelpe(@sietse_schelpe): Depending on the market, if you use ai api, I fear they will look for better
alternatives
, this is also the general problem, people are only open to pay what is for them right. So if you are open for why you increase and also what they get in return, that would work best. Be open and honest Comment from ... ... starting or mid-scale?

As for me: I will ...

LET'S FIX EUROPE FOR STARTUPS – AMA with Andreas Klinger & EU-Inc

" for new startups, where a lot of these costs, should be covered by their local governments. In the end of the day we are starting with the aim to grow local and global economies, why not get any support to start ...
