15. 16 years of GoSquared (Part 1)

  • Summary

  • Recently when GoSquared turned 16 years old (or young?) we shared a blog post with 16 lessons from those 16 years. We received a ton of great feedback on the post, so I thought it’d be good to share some of those lessons on the show and speak about them a little more.


    Here are the first 8 of the 16 lessons we’ve learned along the way so far...


    On ideas and building:

    1. Build something people want.
    2. Share early, share often.
    3. Constraints breed creativity — embrace them
    4. The details are not the details, they make the product

    On customers:

    1. Use your own product. Be your own customer
    2. Charge the trust battery
    3. Your customers are smart — treat them accordingly
    4. Treat each customer as unique, but scale your process
