FROM THE FIELD

Some ideas get better when you talk about them. Others get better when customers disagree with you.

THINGS WE CHANGED OUR MINDS ABOUT

  1. 01

    AI doesn't automatically make a product AI-native.

  2. 02

    More features rarely solve a weak value proposition.

  3. 03

    A prototype is not evidence.

  4. 04

    Customer behaviour beats founder intuition.

  5. 05

    Speed matters—but direction matters more.
