57 experiences
1. Do your personal passion. You are your best public opinion representative.
2. user experience is important. Most products cannot do this because users cannot figure out how to benefit from these products. Many products cannot do this because it is too complicated.
3. Understand the technology. You don't have to write code, but you must be able to understand how it is developed and how it works.
4. The CEO of a startup company must be, must, and must be the product manager. He/she must have a functional user experience for the product.
5. perform primary and secondary grading of functions. There will be no two equivalent functions. You cannot implement them all at once. We need to optimize our troops.
6. Use the defect tracking system and use it to manage your development activities.
7. Timely release. Unless a real user comes into contact with your product and gives feedback, you will never know whether your product is good or bad.
8. release as soon as possible, often released. Do not remember to add other functions. As long as the minimum set of functions can be used to collect user feedback, publish it. Collect feedback and repeat this process to release the next version. The sooner the better. If you release the first user-oriented product three months ago, you have been dragging on for too long. If you release the update package only once three weeks, you have been dragging on for too long. If it cannot be several times a week, an update is released once a week. Major updates are released every three weeks.
9. The only thing that makes sense is the quality of your product. All others are trivial.
10. The only judgment on the quality of your product comes from the number of users who use it.
11. Therefore (add 9th or 10 items): the primary factor that determines whether your product will succeed in the future is the adsorption of your product. Spend your most time on building adsorption in your early audience. If you can start this process, the snowball will roll bigger and bigger.
12. If the first 50% proved to be effective, you would have been quite successful. Listen to your users as much as possible.
13. Do not rely on your user representatives to tell you how to develop. User representatives can tell you how to locate and help you identify the potential core content to be polished, but you still need to be able to summarize and digest the information and know where to find your users.
14. Most people actually use 5 ~ 7 types of services. If you want to make an important product and become a big company, you need to be clear about how to become these 5 ~ One of the seven services, so that users will be fascinated by you and capture their enthusiasm and trust. You need to give your users a good reason to spend time on your services.
15. Try to pursue the current trend and create your own market. If possible, capture the trend and control it.
16. Find a "Guide ". Some people have done this before-financing, trade, and work for startups. 1% ~ for this person in your company ~ 2% in exchange for his time as compensation. Use them to open the door to the future market. He serves as a media for enterprise development. Do not ask the Committee to do such a thing. The Consultant Department has never provided anything useful. Find such people and use them as your guide.
17. Try to find the best person to work with in your project, no matter where he is.
18. If possible, it is best to set up a branch, but you need to move between several regions to make them work normally. Minimum online cooperation: 3 ~ 4 weeks, which means you need to travel in these places almost every month.
19. Work with people you like to get along. This does not mean that you can disagree with people you don't like.
20. trust people who work with you just like you trust your family.
22. Place your desk so that you can see your companions. If you are not interested in seeing each other every day, you may have chosen the person who works together.
23. Use an internal sharing tool similar to yammer to share what you are developing. For many people (especially developers), it is easier to update status information than to send emails.
24. Use a file sharing service system in the team, such as Basecamp. This is important to everyone. It can record all files dynamically and send them to your mailbox. Basecamp enables you to have historical archives and a centralized data document library.
25. Identify what you are really good at and focus on these things. Let others do other things.
26. Let people around you to make up for your defects. Let them do what they are good. You should not do anything about them.
27. Work with people who are smarter than you in some aspects.
28. Work with those who will argue with you and oppose you.
29. Working hard during the day, returning to the home in the evening and loving each other.

32. Loyal. Train and guide people, rather than drum up them.
33. You will never be as correct as you think.
34. Go to the gym or run for at least four times a week. To keep your mind in shape, keep your body in shape first.
35. Do not drink on the plane unless your flight lasts for more than 8 hours. It will hurt you and waste your time.
36. The investors you choose should be the ones you like to work with, friends, and people who want advice.
37. Do not select investors based on value. In the long run, there will be no harm if you select the right person.
38. The fewer funds you raise at the beginning of your business, the better. Forcing yourself to make a strict budget and use every dollar seriously seems like the last dollar.
39. Once you have some development motivation, raise more funds than you need, but you need to know what they will do. Some tips. Do not be stingy with fundraising activities.
40. every cent of the money will be spent with caution, just as it is your last cent.
41. Understand what company you want to do. There are few companies like Google and Facebook. For your company, perhaps 10 million returns are good, maybe 10 million, maybe 0.1 billion, maybe nothing. Plan what you want to do. Do not do things that cannot be done. You can see how much money you have in your pocket and what you can do. It is better to earn 20% of your expected value in two years than to earn 0.1 billion of your expected value in five years.
42. There are 41 items related to understanding whether your business is suitable for receiving venture capital. Venture capital generally expects a return rate of 10 times. That is to say, if you accept 5 million Yuan, you must provide 5 million yuan in return. 10 million investment = 0.1 billion target. When signing and accepting venture capital, you must be clear about what they expect from you.
43. Align your personal company's development goals with those of your investors. A target company can succeed. Investors have no magic to make their careers successful. Similarly, they do not have the magic to let the CEO care.
