That’s when things got real
tikktalk.com @tikktalkme
And here’s what we learned along the way
tikktalk.com @tikktalkme
1. Launch first ask questions later
tikktalk.com @tikktalkme
Based on research, everyone wanted a unicorn
Based on real life user testing, they wanted much more than that
tikktalk.com @tikktalkme
2. Buy as much time as you can
tikktalk.com @tikktalkme
As a startup, you will always think about your remaining runway
Find a way to stretch yourself for a few extra months
tikktalk.com @tikktalkme
3. Don’t fall in love with your product
tikktalk.com @tikktalkme
Love the problem, not the product
tikktalk.com @tikktalkme
4. Split the market
tikktalk.com @tikktalkme
Less than 100K per year Less than 1.1M per year
More than 1.1M per year
100% Focus
Close several deals before moving to bigger customers
tikktalk.com @tikktalkme
5. Early adopters are key
tikktalk.com @tikktalkme
