I cofounded a startup a few years ago that ended in an acquihire. If I could redo it, I realize we didn’t front load a killer feature. We spent too much time on table stakes so we’d look like competitors, there wasn’t much that set us apart to endear us to the alpha user base. We only developed some really novel things after like nine months. Looking back (and for next time), I’d have greatly descoped what we needed to imitate and gotten on those killer features asap.
