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

- be critical / cynical and take things with a grain of salt: lots of folks (investors, partners, etc) tell you what you want to hear to get what they want - talk to users constantly, but learn to categorize/organize feedback - inbox zero, calendar management, knowledge management (eg Notion) very helpful

- everything is a tradeoff. Time spent in meetings instead of coding, time spent shipping feature X instead of Y, focusing on testing suite instead of infra, etc. Need to relentlessly prioritize and aggressively focus on things that move the needle / get closer to PMF
