Give #chatgpt the "mechanics" of your product, tell it to group by JTBD, etc.

Your customers DON'T KNOW how powerful your tool is

#buildinpublic #gmail nudge #follow-up feature is basically useless b/c its not reliable.

no settings, no way to set it up, sometimes it shows up, sometimes it doesn't

At #ClarityInbox, we are building a nudge #reminder that you can control, so you can keep follow-ing up

More headcount, more headaches. That was my first startup.

We got funding. We hired. 12 people in total. We built a team before we had a direction.

I thought headcount meant progress. That was the status symbol.
