As a first-time founder, I felt I had to say yes to every meeting request, networking event, and investor coffee chat. I was terrified of missing out on some magical opportunity. Now I realize it was a huge productivity killer. Let me shortcut you. Learn to stay focused. Learn to say no. If you are not building your product or selling it, you are wasting time.

For raising a pre-seed round, I used to think that more traction automatically meant a better shot at funding. Turns out, I was wrong. When you're pre-revenue, investors are buying into your vision and potential. But once you have numbers, those numbers better be amazing or they'll just kill the excitement you've built. Sometimes, less is more when it comes to attracting investors.

Many founders (and investors) think they have a product market fit. But they don't. Last week, someone told me, "I have 40 customers. I have product market fit." But that's not how it works. Product market fit needs to be re-evaluated constantly. Every year. Every month. No company always has product market fit. Every company will die eventually. The question is: how long can you stay alive? Seed stage? Series A? Series B? Even some public companies eventually die. Look at Polaroid, Blockbuster, PAN AM (just to name a few). In fact, 52% of companies in the Fortune 500 list have disappeared over the last 20 years. The reality is: Product market fit is never permanent. Early adopters? Great. Penetrate one segment? Awesome. But can you penetrate another? Can you stay current? Can you pivot and change with the ebbs and flows of markets and needs? My last startup had a product market fit in one segment. Hit $20M in revenue. But expanding to other segments? No fit. It was a tough lesson. Product market fit isn't binary. And it is a never-ending journey.

I once pitched my startup to Andreessen Horowitz, and it was a complete disaster. Marc Andreessen obliterated me and I didn't get through my pitch. I then gathered myself and 60 minutes later I got a verbal term sheet from Lightspeed. Here's what happened.

Being a first-time founder in a startup can be lonely AF. You have no idea what you are doing. You work 24/7, trying to do it all. It's one of the hardest things anyone can do. This is why I started Every.io. It will not solve all first-time founder's problems, but it will solve all their back-office challenges. I wish I had this service in my back pocket when I was a first-time founder of a start-up.

I used to think that initial product market fit meant you could scale your startup to $100m+ of revenue runrate. I was wrong. My last startup hit $20 million in revenue runrate, but its growth stalled because it had only conquered one small market segment. Here’s what I wish I knew then.

Rajeev Behera shares his thoughts on how to set company goals for seed stage founders.
Seed Stage Founders, we all know the best CEOs set clear company goals. So how do you get started? I keep it simple at Every, here is how I approach goal setting for my team: 1. Set goals monthly - On the first day of each month, we talk about the goals for this month, and go through a quick post mortem on if we achieved the goals from last month. I highlight goals we hit from last month in green, and highlight the ones we missed in red. Key learning: The key thing here is checking in on the last month's goals, otherwise there is no accountability. 2. Types of goals - The goal of a seed stage company is simple. Build a product and sell it. Not rocket science. So I create two sets of goals, Product and Goto Market. I usually do a single slide for each. 3. How I write Product goals: They key here is to simplify your product strategy and distill this month's roadmap into 1-3 "Big Rocks." Oftentimes, product backlogs have tons of tiny features. While these are important to spend time on, if all you do are these tiny features, in 6 months you will look at your product and not be able to notice if it is any different. This happened to me quite a bit at my last startup. A "Big Rock" is a big enough feature that it would warrant emailing your users about it. I only put Big Rocks on my Product goal slide, and I don't mention the little things. This ensures my product progresses in an impactful way that my users will visibly see. Every.io is an all-in-one where we are building 3 companies in one (Banking + Hr/Payroll + Accounting/Tax), so Big Rocks are key for us to keep adding to our back office stack. 4. How I write Goto Market goals: I start with 1 KPI. For us right now it is "1st Meetings Booked." This is tracked week over week. Then the rest is a list of marketing actions, broken down by channel. Then there are a few ops goals usually that have to do with how we setup hubspot, data providers, etc. 5. Assign owners - this is controversial but I assign 1-2 names next to each company goal, even if others are contributing to it. This is because I want people to see their name on the board explicitly called out when we do a post mortem, for accountability. No names, no accountability. This won't work at a Series B+ company, since so many people work on a Big Rock, but at small companies usually the majority is done by just a few people, so it works out. Hope this is helpful!
