What happened to transparency and trust? On my first startup, I remember talking to branding people: 'What’s the first value that comes to your mind? Me: 'Trust.' So, why write about trust now? Here’s what triggered it 👇 Customers order delivery through third-party marketplaces. Then, they pass the same restaurant the next day and see much lower prices—30% in some cases. Third parties are now asking drivers to take pictures of menus to stop this. See my point? There is very little trust here. And yet, this is a billion-dollar industry. Wild! Interesting?

I stayed up coding until 4am so many nights for two years when I started Lightspeed Commerce — to me, this is part of the entrepreneur journey. Had a blast reflecting on those early years and discussing the challenges and opportunities of navigating a tech startup with Harry Stebbings from 20VC. Some takeaways: - Achieving strong product-market fit requires an iterative, customer-centric approach — especially with early users. Lightspeed wouldn’t have achieved profitability if we weren’t so close to our customers. - Companies can take different paths to scale, each with its trade-offs — some bootstrap profitably for years before taking VC funding. Sometimes you need the slow-burn process to create something truly phenomenal. - Founders must be willing to adapt their sales and distribution strategies as the business matures, especially after going public. If you’re a founder or entrepreneur, I think this episode will provide lots of value. Thank you to Harry and the team at 20VC for having me. Links to the interview in the comments 👇
