Most startups die before ever reaching their first 100 active users. Getting the first customers to trust your product is one of the most difficult challenges every startup face in the early days. I want to share our story of how we survived this milestone in our journey. Most items…

Have you heard about The Great Resignation, aka the Big Quit? If you live in the United States, you probably know what I’m talking about. Coined by Anthony Klotz in 2021, a professor of management at Mays Business School at Texas A&M University, this phenomenon describes the growing trend in…

And it’s not even from a SaaS company (Just a quick note here at the beginning — this is the last piece I’m writing on Medium. I’ve launched a free weekly newsletter called Gobbledy that you can sign up for here. I’ll be writing about the language of software marketing. Thanks for visiting). I’ve been working on a…

Have you ever noticed how some of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs and leaders see reality in a fundamentally different way? When they talk, it’s almost as if they’re speaking a different language. Just look at this interview where Elon Musk describes how he understands cause and effect: “I look…

Countless books and articles have been written about Warren Buffett. Surprisingly few have been written about his business partner of over 40 years, Charlie Munger. Munger has stayed out of the public eye, giving only a small number of public talks, and he’s rarely been covered in the media. At…

This is a story about two roads — Should and Must. It’s a pep talk for anyone who’s chosen Should for far too long — months, years, maybe a lifetime — and feels like it’s about time they gave Must a shot — There are two paths in life: Should and Must. We arrive at this crossroads over and over again. And each time, we get to choose. Over the past year I’ve chosen Must again and again. And it was petrifying. And at times it was dark. But I would never, ever…

In the past 5 years, especially after selling my first startup, I’ve had the pleasure of working with various teams who were mostly in the very early stages of launching their startups. While the journey of each startup is truly unique and can not be compared to one, I…

Here’s what the VC-backed founders do. A few weeks ago I’ve written a piece about getting VCs excited about Marketplace start-ups. And then, SaaS founders got jealous. Sorry guys, this one is for you! The only hack I recommend for closing a Series A is about understanding how people wiring…

It’s been almost 365 days since we launched the first version of Postpace and today we have reached nearly a quarter of a million dollar revenue. 6 months ago, I wrote our first open building report and shared our whole process of ideation, building and launching a SaaS minimum viable…

I discussed the search for super-human longevity in my earlier post “Living to 100 and Beyond” and in this post, I am looking to cover 3 “hallmarks of ageing” and solutions that different companies are developing to target these which will change the way you think about ageing (or motivate…
