We asked tech founders about their fears and concerns.  "I often lie awake and ask myself whether our system can withstand the real onslaught of users. What if we grow and everything collapses? I'm afraid that we'll drown in technical debt or overlook security gaps that will blow up in our faces later." 😥 #techfounder #techstartup #startupfounder #founderjourney #founderx

🚀 Navigating M&A and password puzzles in the startup world! 🤔🔐 Here's the scenario: you're in the middle of a startup journey and M&As become part of the narrative. While migrating existing users sounds straightforward, the reality can be a little different. Does the acquiring company use the same encryption library for your passwords? If not, prepare for a mandatory password reset for all users. And let's not forget those users who opted for Apple-generated private email - the days of customer support agents playing matchmaker to connect them to their actual accounts. Sound familiar? My two cents: Use Magic Links! 🎩✨ Because simplicity is key, especially for startups with limited resources. Magic Links are not only easy to use, but also easy to maintain. And in the event of an acquisition, you can rest assured that your login functionality will continue to work smoothly. Many authentication providers offer this magic link functionality, so you can avoid both implementation and debugging. #StartupChallenges #MagicLinks #MergersAndAcquisitions #TechSimplicity

Talk is cheap... One of the many reasons I chose to join TrustCloud was their freemium strategy. We give away our platform to startups looking to achieve SOC 2. Not a free trial. Not a million paywalls. Not $20k in services. We believe the best way to help growing startups is to give them free tools to grow their business by enabling security compliance. When these same companies get product-market fit and funding we send order forms. Achieving SOC 2 is pivotal for b2b startups and I remember not too long ago a gap assessment would have been $20K. If you are an early stage startup and need SOC 2 we are here to help. Link in comments.
