If I had to get it down to only 3 words, they might be "iteratively satisfy users." Awkward, bad rhythm,
and prone to double entendre, but you have to compromise to get all that into 3 words. (My first try was "understand your users," which sounds better but says less.)
- dshah 17y agoLike yours a lot. Variations: iteratively create awesomeness create happiness iteratively
- nfnaaron 17y agoSatisfy users. Iterate. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
- jacquesm 17y agoHow about "Keep satisfying customers" By using the 'keep' twice you can compress more meaning in to fewer words. It also works better for people that don't understand the word iterate, which is in common use in English but not one that non-natives or non-programmers would get immediately.
- gruseom 17y agoHow about "Keep satisfying customers" Less information. "Keep" doesn't necessarily mean changing what you do. In other words, "keep" could mean "x, x, x,...", while "iteratively" definitely means "x1, x2, x3,..." The greater precision is worth the awkwardness, and anyone who is unwilling to look up a word probably shouldn't be doing a startup.
- jacquesm 17y agoTrue, it spells it out. But you won't be keeping them without adapting.
- nostrademons 17y ago"Make something wanted", which is the passive voice for your "Make something people want." It's also technically more accurate, as many dog food and pet supply companies have found out. ;-)
- byrneseyeview 17y agoHow much dog food do dogs buy?
- nostrademons 17y agoIs it the dog owner or the dog who determines how much dog food gets bought?
- byrneseyeview 17y agoI can't boil this down to three words, but "Make something that people who can spend money either want, or think is wanted by people--or pets, or perhaps robots--about whom they care."
