Hire too fast for my marketing agency to compensate for legitimity. I think it's a mistake many first-time founder do too. An experienced founder is rather looking to keep the process efficient and lean :) no useless hire.
What's yours Swayam?

I have already written about it in a separate discussion. We spent too long developing our first startup in theory. We started talking too late with the companies that would later pay for our solution. My learning number 1: Ask potential customers for feedback right from the start.
@henry_burkert which platform did you start from?
@swayammi7 We could have used a little more time to build the momentum for our launch. We released our social app product in 3 weeks of preparation.
Btw, we launched our social networking platform, Tigbar today. Mind supporting us.
One of my early mistakes was underestimating the importance of user feedback loops; I focused too much on features without ensuring they were what users actually needed. This taught me to prioritize customer discovery and incorporate feedback much earlier in the development process.
One of my earliest mistakes was underestimating the importance of a targeted launch strategy; I spread the word too thinly across multiple platforms without a clear focus. This taught me that a well-defined, platform-specific launch plan is crucial to capture the right audience's attention and gain traction.
