In saying this, no one is saying this means that a great team isn't an accelerant to what a great market can enable!" Vanity Metrics, the Fture, and 100,000 Thank Yous Eoghan McCabe "99% of new customer growth is still inbound. Customers are coming to us, primarily via word of mouth. This means we save a phenomenal amount of money that conventionally would be spent on sales and marketing, which instead we put into new product development." Six Steps to Superior Product Prototyping Caitlin Kalinowski "Before starting design work, decide what your product absolutely must do before you'll ship it. New companies are often under a lot of pressure. They don't always define their non-negotiables clearly at the beginning of the product process. I see this mistake often. Unfortunately, they can get backed into a corner and be forced to ship early without having met those critical benchmarks first." 7 Tips for Raising Capital in a Slower Market Alex Iskold "You thought you were going to raise capital on $5MM cap but investors want $3MM cap? Fine, agree to the deal. Yes, this is a lot more dilution, but you'd rather raise quickly on a lower valuation that not raise at all."
