Many startups I have seen as an employee or consultant make one big mistake. Perhaps the biggest mistake a CEO and founder can make: They don't know where they stand. Every startup follows a path from idea through product market fit, scaling to being a cash cow. If the #startup is not aligned on this, product searches for product market fit, marketing is full speed ahead on scaling and finance wants to cut costs to optimize margins. With everyone going in a different direction failure is near when money runs out. Learn about the seven steps of a startup and do the right things.

4 年In general I do very much agree. I think that some points like "One Developer" is too brought. It highly depends on your product. But as I said. It is great you shared it! It is so important to know where you stand :)! Thanks for that
