If you work in startups, what's one tip you give to grow as a startup operator?

Stay a generalist, and be deeply involved in all parts of the company. The key is to be like your founders, but even more focused on execution. Also, don't hesitate to question everything (yourself, the company, the founders, the users) and do not ever leave any detail unanswered.

Believe your team and product. Trust your advisers, mentors and users. Listen to your heart ❤️ (50%) and mind (50%). That is enough!

Customers are not always right. We founders are sometimes are obsessed with collecting feedback and build our products around. I found on many occasions that customers do not know what they want. and founders must build and show before users understand the real value

Ship product early and often.

your expectations will be brutally destroyed... time and time again 😊

Hold yourself to high standards and always listen to the customers.

See everything as a process. Document and optimize all processes as you learn more about them.

For me is not getting too attached to my own ideas. I'm working on the first version of the product and a lot of ideas get scraped. I don't care what ideas of mine go to the trash bin, I trust my mentors and the only thing I care about is a successful launch. If advice helps me get closer to it, I do whatever is needed.

Be ready to wear multiple hats and be flexible learning things on the go

Build a community or/and build your distribution.

In my experience working in a tech startup, after spending a considerable amount of time slaving away in a traditional company setup, the most noticeable difference is the blurred lines of what you're supposed to do. While at first, it's weird, it's also a beautiful thing to nurture. It's a constant well of challenges that if everyone in the team has their head in the game, the workplace definitely becomes more fun and exciting.

Build distribution, build community and then build product around it.

Find the right people, and trust them. Don't try and control everything - from holidays to working habits to tech-stack and tactics, let people have the flexibility to work how they work best!

Patience, determination, focus. Be patience as results won't come in a day. AB testing will help you pave the way to achieve your long term goals. Determination is key to value )and overcome) the failures you'll face. Focus on simple, proveable metrics.

Have a mind like water, Cozy up to the customer, Deeply understand the business model,Find the unsexy projects to drive impact fast, Align your personal values to the company mission, Relentlessly prioritize to avoid the wrong high-quality work, Pre-product/market fit? Focus on reducing risk, Solve the present (not future) problems, Think MVP, not perfection, Be ready to learn and teach in equal measure and many more.

Read a lot, learn a lot, take lots of advice.

Distribution, that's the word!

Try to build your brand, understand your market, develop your product, manage your team mamebers, and focus on your work.

Speak to your users often and regularly and make it a good habit to learn from them. Consider them to be your first real co-founders.
