Creating a product that a small group of users absolutely loves is more valuable than trying to please a larger audience with mediocre features.

Founders often envision their product launch as a grand event, similar to an Oscar ceremony, where they expect to be celebrated and recognized.

When I talk about making products users love, I mean creating things that have a passionate user base that unconditionally wants them to succeed, both the products and the companies behind them.

Inviting customers to design the product can lead to better outcomes, as they often have valuable insights and skills that can enhance the final product.

Designing with love and care is a way of expressing gratitude to humanity, even if we never meet the users of our products.

Focus on building a great product that customers love, as this is more important than over-optimizing your fundraising efforts.

Founders should focus on building a better product rather than worrying excessively about competitors; delivering more value to users is key.

When facing competition, it's essential to focus on building a strong community and product. The ultimate way to win is by creating a better experience for users, which is often overlooked by competitors focused solely on rapid growth.

Building growth into the product from the start is crucial, rather than treating it as an afterthought after initial user acquisition.
