21 Rough Lessons Learned from Our Startup Failure
- ZenPro 12y agoGreat post. >> Research should weigh heavily on building your product/ service WITH your customer-PARTNERS I have often advocated this from a business development perspective. It becomes a free way to elevate your customer to someone driving the iterations rather than a receiver. They are a gold-plated, VIP, so-important-they-make-suggestions- partner. An easy win. >> Market like a king with a blacksmith’s earnings. Really astute advice. All in all a great list - accurate, brief and clear. What is next for you?
- D-Train 12y agoThanks, ZenPro. Tried to make it concise, even though it ballooned to a list of 21. The Next Move is a tough one. I'm trying to stay in the startup game. I'm not tired of peanut butter sandwiches yet. If I don't start another startup, then I'd love to help another early stage tech startup with business development (sales, marketing, the works). I've learned a lot, and I'm eager to apply the lessons with others. Know of any early startups who I can help?
