Keep it simple & ship!
If you're about to LAUNCH an app, here's an important consideration. Many founders think of the "launch" as an event. A big thing. One shot. One opportunity. That's wrong. As an entrepreneur, you will launch again, and again, and again. New feature? -> Launch. New design? -> Launch. New partnership? -> Launch. For example, we do a launch every ~8 weeks at OpenVC. This has so many benefits: - Your current users see that you're active - You get more chances to be seen by new users - You get better at launching The last point is key. As you launch more and more, you will develop a playbook. You will get feedback from the market. You will learn what works for your company. Eventually, you will become a pro launcher and launches will be a regular "channel" in your marketing strategy. So don't get stuck in "pre-launch" mode. This is a beginner's mistake. Launch, and launch, and launch again. 🚀

If you think your startup is going to fail or has no chance, it doesn't. If you think your startup is going to be wildly successful, it will. The perspective you have has a lot more impact than you may think. So be positive and go long.

Write down your startup's top 1-3 priorities. On a giant white board. And only focus on making progress there. Everything else is just a distraction.
