Validation is key to success. I believe we all think we have a revolutionary product, but without the proper execution from the start, it will fail.
Stephanie
@lysten_inc Yes! Execution from the beginning sets the road mapping and we need to constantly validate every step we go, even if it's not going the right way.

@pixel_dust focuses on users and products at the very early stage; launch the product as soon as possible if when it seems not ready! like @lysten_inc said, validation is the key to success!

We hit a major roadblock during our initial funding phase. Real stress-test for the team. But instead of imploding, we got creative, bootstrapped, and focused on lean development.

@jackkdavies26 That’s fantastic you and your team overcame the hurdles in the initial funding phase. It's challenging when resources are stretched thin, that's why a solid team is the foundation of the product. We're launching soon, would be great if you can support us https://www.producthunt.com/prod...
