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

I agree on everything but the designer point. 

It is very easy to underrate the compounding returns of a distinct and simple design language. A great one should help you build less.

Agree with you that it compounds overtime but I remember the first interaction of zora and, respectfully, it wasn’t v pretty. That being said it solved a problem and allowed you to get PMF and raise more to be able to hire the amazing designers you have hired!
