What is your best startup advice?
Our team believes that we can improve on the quality of knowledge exchange by bringing founders together to learn from each other directly. There are definitely motives for connecting founders with mentors, them having a great network for one. But there is also tremendous value in learning how to take a hurdle from someone who just did it, instead of ten years ago.
Ben Horowitz did a live chat filled with advice on Product Hunt last week, and they posted a recap on Medium (see our Must Read). Now we are interested to find out about your advice. Please hit reply if you've got some to share.
Have a great weekend,
