In the early days, focus on product retention rather than just growth. If your retention rate is low, prioritize improving your product before trying to scale.

It's important to respect the boundaries between design and product management roles to ensure effective collaboration.

When organizing a growth team, you can either have it as a separate entity or integrate it with the product team, but it's crucial to find a balance between shared responsibility and dedicated focus on growth.

Measuring retention is critical; if you don't have a product that retains users, you shouldn't focus on growth yet.

It's a mistake to get distracted by new features without ensuring your existing product retains users effectively; focus on improving retention first.

In product management, it's essential to optimize for strengths rather than weaknesses to achieve better outcomes.

Working on growth before achieving product-market fit and good retention is not a good idea.

It's important for founders to stay close to their product and customers, avoiding the trap of over-delegating early on.

I believe in starting with a small team to maintain focus and quality in product development.
