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
