First Round Capital reposted this
I read this post by First Round Capital yesterday and shared it with a client, but I read it again and realized there are some amazing stories and nuggets in here and wanted to share here. Definitely one of the best up and coming, finding PMF stories I've read in a while. I don't know the team at Clay, but they've been getting a lot of hype from the sales world. I used their product in a trial and you quickly started to understand the hype. My key takeaways: - Persistence, persistence, persistence. As the title suggests, it took them a long time to get to where they are. I remember Spenser, CEO/cofounder at Amplitude telling me that his number one goal when starting his company was to work at it for at least two years, if not longer, since that was a key indicator of success for a lot of startups - Mental health tips. I can't stress this one enough. As someone who has experienced his own fair share of mental health issues and witnessed them around me, these are all amazing tips and some that I actively practice today. - How to focus on the right problem when you have such big ambitions for your product AND get it right. Definitely worth the read!! https://lnkd.in/gKzTNVeE
