I realized that it doesn't matter what you start; it matters what you finish, so I focused on helping founders launch quickly to iterate effectively.

When we first launched our product, I was embarrassed about its readiness, but we had to ship it. We learned from our initial customers, who provided valuable feedback that helped us improve.

The goal of a pre-launch startup is to launch quickly; the best advice is to launch something, even if it's not perfect, as soon as possible.

Delaying a launch means missing out on valuable learning experiences that come from real user interactions and feedback.

Launching your product is essential; failing to do so can prevent you from gaining valuable feedback and iterating effectively, but it's not as significant to your users as it is to you, so prioritize launching sooner to validate if it solves their problem.

After receiving clear product-market feedback, I realized I should have hired faster to capitalize on the market's interest in our product.

We learned that building too much technology too quickly can be a mistake; it's essential to focus on what's most needed and to iterate based on user feedback.

We realized we would never feel ready to launch, so we set a date and worked hard for four months to prepare for it.

If you're an early-stage founder without prior experience, you should prioritize launching quickly and learning from real user feedback rather than waiting to perfect your product.
