Random founder tips from 1 yr of running vc-backed @paragraph:

- stay lean and hire/spend carefully
- ship very, very fast and very, very frequently
- disregard competition and naysayers
- PMs, designers, other non-eng roles generally not valuable in early stages
- good customer support is underrated
