Regular checkpoints, like weekly meetings, can significantly improve team communication and management.

We conduct monthly town halls for our users, sharing updates on our progress and inviting feedback, which fosters a sense of community and involvement among them. Staying close to users allows us to understand their feelings and avoid common mistakes that many founders make.
