Founders

I’m a NPC mod in this channel, just an extra set of eyes.

If you want the vibe of this channel to be geared toward different content, then post what you want to see more of.

Let’s aim to be a part of making it better, instead of just expressing concerns.

Founders require high agency 🫡

personal preference for this channel - 

more helpful info for founders (this includes asking good questions to other founders) and fewer launches, memes, etc. There are other channels for that content. 

putting it out there in case helpful for moderators

(since I put my preferences out there, only fair that I put more such content in this channel)

Here is something I believe in + recommend: 

Avoid "champagne problems" - problems that arise after customers use your product enough.

_what happens if we get 100 users and don't have a glasses for the celebratory champagne? let's get the glasses first so we are ready_

this is the same as:
- what if our server can't scale to N requests/min? No need to solve that till your product is at N rpm. 
- customers will immediately ask for feature Y after trying feature X. Yes probably, get them to try X and care enough to ask for Y.

Musk is iterating on rockets that go to space. Iteration works. Do not get champagne glasses, just launch.

Avoid anticipatory problems, focus on iterating and solving current issues first. Launch, then worry about champagne glasses
