Just some stuff about me.
Stupid things I did while building my first startup
Not taking care of ourselves
Working 15-16 hours a day
Imbalance in decision making
Most of the decisions were often made by a single person, without enough brainstorming. It is not the ideal way of working.
Not moving enough
Not talking to our customers
we never talked to enough users to identify if it was something necessary.
Too much building and not enough selling
Copying from competitors
Copying from the competition will only get you as far as them. Your goal should be to build things that are much better than them if you want to make people switch.
Lack of vision
We blindly kept building features without any vision.
A simple question we should ask ourselves is – Who is your ideal user? What do they want to achieve with your product?
We had a bunch of features, probably what five different products would have done. But no single user wanted.
