3. Don't chaise investors, chase users, and then investors will be chasing you.
4. Never hire managers. Only hire doers until PMF.
5. Landing page is the least important thing in a startup

My experience at multiple startups from 2017-2020 suggests differently. I wish it weren't the case, but it seems there is a certain type of company that can focus solely on hype and fundraising and headcount, and make it quite far.
- smitty1e 3y agoThat's not a company; that is a scam.
- smcin 3y agoThat used to be true in 2017-2020 for certain sectors of company and funding source; where did they raise funding from? And is that funding source no longer investing? > and make it quite far Is that measured by funding rounds and valuation, or by paid users/revenue?
- ttymck 3y agoFar as in longevity, propelled by funding rounds and valuation far out-pacing actual revenue.
- johnrushx 3y agoyou're right, there is this type. however, it's a very rare type. We see them often in the news, but it's less than 1% of the startups
- ttymck 3y agoI hope you're right, but I'm also shocked that I've managed to work for more than 1 already in my short career.
