15. 16 years of GoSquared (Part 1)

Recently when GoSquared turned 16 years old (or young?) we shared a blog post with 16 lessons from those 16 years. We received a ton of great feedback on the post, so I thought it’d be good to share some of those lessons on the show and speak about them a little more.

Here are the first 8 of the 16 lessons we’ve learned along the way so far...

On ideas and building:

Build something people want.Share early, share often.Constraints breed creativity — embrace themThe details are not the details, they make the product

On customers:

Use your own product. Be your own customerCharge the trust batteryYour customers are smart — treat them accordinglyTreat each customer as unique, but scale your process
