1/ Ladies, I think perfectionism is killing our progress. I’ve talked to 4 women this week who are “thinking about starting something,” but afraid to get an MVP live. Here are some thoughts:
2/ If you have an early idea, but need help with an MVP: @ycombinator Leap, @dreamyhumans and @womeninproduct are safe spaces to share ideas and get feedback from top product leaders and engineers.
3/ Don’t overthink the MVP: Keep costs low. AWS, Hubspot, Zendesk all offer free tools for startups. For non-technical founders: @alyraz built @hipcampers after learning how to code at @devbootcamp. Hackathons like @SoSpectra and @HacksAthena are also great.
4/ Other people are here to help: this is particularly true in SaaS. In today’s environment, every SaaS company needs a partner integration strategy. @margotcodes @cecistalls @sofiaqt have taught me a lot in this area. Get feedback from folks at other SaaS companies
5/ If you’re thinking about starting something (especially in SaaS), I want to hear from you. My DMs are open and I have a whole network of women who are ready and willing to help you.
