This is kind of a bummer. As a first time founder, it's not really helpful to read a list of things that you may be doing wrong (especially when there is no mention of a correct path to take - you're simply led to believe that you should do the opposite).
Another point of contention was:
We have been working on our Startup for 3 years now and there were more reasons that it should have collapsed than I can think of.
Is it possible that actually making these mistakes is how you get better? I'm all for primers and advice, but something is missing here.
- andreasklinger 15y agoFirst of all sorry if the list is not helpful. Kinda hoped for people like you to find santiy-checks for their current process in there. Regarding your point about making mistakes: I assume the truth is inbetween. As said it's harder for me to give advice "what works" because stuff that works is usually more specific. But i will try in future to rather focus on actionable stuff that works instead of warning signs
- rglover 15y agoAs far as "sanity-checks," I feel like you've accomplished this. When I see lists like these, though, I hope there's something I can chew on; a couple of sentences that further articulate the point being made (this may be a personal thing, but it helps me to really "get" the point). There's nothing wrong with warning signs, but warning signs aren't necessarily what you're doing wrong (rather, just a hint that you might be).
