How Getting Rejected by Founder Collective Helped Save Our Startup
- derwildemomo 14y agoGreat post, but the title should be "how getting honest, qualified and constructive feedback made us rethink our idea." :-)
- jonathanjaeger 14y agoHaha, but that's not as clickworthy!
- gojomo 14y agoHonesty saves startups but kills headline-driven blog traffic.
- invalidOrTaken 14y agoFrom the post: "People think you need encouragement but what you really need is honest feedback." It's really both. The feedback is necessary to force the founder to realize what challenges are ahead, but the encouragement is necessary to give the founder hope that they can be overcome.
- vacanti 14y agoCompletely agree. I always try to tell entrepreneurs that I believe in them but then give the critical feedback on their idea / process.
- i5b 14y agoinspiring post... great tip for startups, listen to your feedback good or bad positively.
