The best advice I received was from Paul Graham, who said it's better to have a hundred passionate customers than a million indifferent ones.

Paul Graham advised us to focus on a few users who truly love our product rather than trying to appeal to a larger audience, emphasizing the importance of building strong relationships with early adopters.

At Y Combinator, we advise founders to focus on creating a product that 100 people love rather than something that 1 million people merely like, as those 100 passionate users can become your viral sales force.

It's better to have a small group of passionate users who love your product than a large number who are indifferent. When launching your MVP, it's okay to do things that don't scale to build relationships with initial customers.

Instead of finding a ton of people who like your product, focus on finding 10 to 20 customers who truly love it, as growth comes from great products, not the other way around.

Startups need to build a product that users love, focusing on a few passionate users rather than a large number of indifferent ones.

Paul Graham's advice to focus on immediate problems rather than scalability encourages founders to prioritize getting their first customers and building their initial product.

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

Building a strong relationship with your first hundred customers can lead to organic growth as they share their passion with others.
