How do you feel about publishing your MOM growth numbers (revenue, users, ...) in the public domain?

I'm ok to share some of our stats, but there is a trick - you always need to keep in mind if it helps business or making worse. E.G. at the beginning it helps to acquire users, while numbers are growing - more people react and come to check the product. But if you have some negative growth number - it depends. Some talented founders know how to use this info in their company interest by making it public, but I just don't :)

Hi Julia 👋 I’ve been thinking about how much to share early progress in public too. I think it does comes down to our accountability towards those metrics. So as I play this out in my mind, my reason not to share would be fear-based, I.e. fear of failure, rejection and embarrassment. I’m definitely on a journey to be less fearful and engage more with the community. Just a few days ago I launched my first product here and it got less than 10 upvotes, it did not reach the featured page and I only had a few visits to my web app and no sign ups. It can be quite daunting. Your post here got me thinking deeper though, and I would like to be more purposeful in sharing my progress with the community because I want to hold myself accountable and as a bonus to make allies and friends. If you could spare some time it would be much appreciated to get your general feedback about my launch and my product. I couldn't share a link here so please find the link on my Product Hunt profile. Best wishes!
