CORE PRINCIPLES
Get out there
Iterating towards customer value is the most efficient way to win a market.
​
Minimize your exposure
Build conviction in technology, market-fit, and business viability through prototypes and proxies.
​
Trust your gut
You'll need to take risks. Your goal is to learn quickly, not to be correct.
​
Mindfully collaborate
Your customers are your best source of inspiration. Be wary of proposed solutions.
​
Nobody cares about your product
Stay focused on the customer. Selling a richer, faster, more productive "them" drives acquisition.
​
Product-led growth FTW
Virality must be woven into your product’s core experience from day one.​
​
The business is the product
Every interaction, from first impression to final goodbye, is part of what you’re selling.​
