Today is the first day of the last month of 2022 and the first winter day ❄️
For me, that was really a really inspiring year, and I figure out 3 main achievements and insights for myself.
- understand that delegating a searching product-market fit to the team without the founder's involvement is the biggest failure
- the hardest thing is managing your remote team in 3 different time zones (PST, EET, and ICT)
- 1 week is enough to test any hypotheses, and 1 month is enough to build a product based on code if you're focusing on it
What about your top 3 deals/achievements/insights of this year?

Great topic starter! Difficult to choose just 3 after this learning curve, but I'll try:
- if you can progress without fundraising venture capital, just do it! Get stronger, gain more traction, and they'll come to you ;-)
- in every deal (incl. agreements with partners) align the details and conditions as early as possible and in writing
- being in the investor's shoes is not always more relaxed and comfortable than being in the founder's shoes... sometimes even more stressful

Great topic!
1) Launch fast, only if you have a great user experience.
2) Talk to your users daily.
3) Public building is the key to a great launch, don't be afraid of sharing your experience!
