Working with a lot of startups, I see founders planning on how the company will grow. That’s great, but founders need to focus on building, releasing/testing, and analyzing the metrics.
Problem: Planning doesn’t help you. Your plan changes almost as immediate as you make it.
Ian Taylor, Founder of Carry Norfolk, talks about how using tools that we use everyday he was able to validate his idea, a bicycle courier company. Taylor has three great steps:
1. Build your product manually first
2. Leverage your early customers
3. Find out what the real problems are
… Then automate the solution.
