Bek(@beknabdik):Key lessons I learned from @paulg yesterday: 1. Grow 10 percent a week. If you optimize for growth, growth designs the product. Users tell you what to build next. 2. The growth rate is a decision filter. If code is not the limiting factor, stop writing software and go sell. 3. Fundraising is not winning. Money from customers is. A valuation is a prediction of future customer revenue. 4. Believe the no, not the why. Rejection reasons are breakup lines. 5. If everything else fails, keep a small group of users happy. Hang on to that like a rope in a hurricane.
