I recommend reading Martí Gou's article "Learnings of not finding product market fit in a ’24 B2B SaaS startup." Martí shares his experience developing Gretel. 🤝 "Once you raise from VC firms, you only have one option: go big or go home. Becoming a “good business” or a “profitable zombie not growing 20–30% each month” isn’t good anymore." 🚀 I share the link in the first comment. 👇 #growth #growthhacking

In the early days of a startup, figuring out which numbers to watch can feel like a guessing game. Sometimes, what these numbers show us seems more like a stroke of luck—good or bad—than real evidence of how we're doing. Our event is here to clear up the confusion. We'll show you how to spot the early signs that your startup is on the right track, even when things seem a bit random. Join us with Melinda B. C. / DNA Capital, Rishi Sharma / Newlin Ventures, and Ajani Windsor / Black Ostrich Ventures for a discussion that seeks to navigate these uncertain waters, offering clarity on what metrics matter when everything else feels like chaos.

I am just reading "Fast Forward - Accelerating B2B Sales For Startups" by Matthias Hilpert and Martin Giese, which I had the pleasure meeting when he was running the XPRENEURS incubator for high-tech start-ups. One quote by Dr. Stephan Rohr is profound wisdom especially for #quantumcomputing #startups and should hang framed on every wall:
