Stronger messaging is like sculpting, not stacking bricks. Here's why. Startups often pile on features to stand out. But differentiation isn’t about adding more. It’s about focusing on the one reason a customer will pick you every time. If your differentiator is worth anything, it should be all you talk about.

Stealth Startups: Ingenious Strategy or Industry Paranoia? In a world obsessed with sharing every minor success, the concept of stealth startups feels like a rebellious secret. But is operating under the radar a stroke of genius or a symptom of an industry gripped by paranoia? Critics argue that the secrecy stunts early feedback, essential for shaping products that the market truly needs. Proponents, however, see it as the ultimate competitive edge, protecting fragile innovations from being copied or squashed before they even have a chance to bloom. At Quila, we believe in balance. While stealth mode can shield your brainchild, engaging with your future users early on can pivot your path toward true market fit. So, what's your take? Is the stealth approach a smart move or just fear in disguise? PS: Innovation thrives on feedback, not just secrecy. #mvp #leanstartup #productdevelopment

Have you identified a problem, or a problem space? In the early stages of validation, we have a theory of something that might be helpful to a certain group of people. A problem in a space. The temptation is to stop there, start building, and then firing a confetti cannon at your problem space expecting it to land. In the problem space, people either don’t notice the confetti, it gets stuck to the bottom of their shoe, or they get annoyed by all the confetti being thrown in their face. They definitely don’t see it and think it’s the perfect solution to their specific problem. Because you haven’t actually investigated and validated to that level. You’ve found the space, now find the problem. And put that confetti cannon away. ————- I’m Scotty Allen and I’m not absolutely certain a confetti cannon is a thing but it sounded good. I also help startups do cool things at The Product Bus which is definitely confett cannon free. #bootstrapping #startup #founders #validation
