Tough! I don't think we've existed long enough to know what's actually a big mistake yet.
The whole founder thing is a never ending series of mistakes and learning so it's hard to isolate one of those. Sometimes it's important you make a small mistake to learn how to avoid a bigger one.
  1. While absolutely keeping my current crop, getting more founders as investors might have been advantageous.
  2. While I always try, trying harder to socialize.
  3. Most of the other stuff is life/lifestyle oriented (but work impacting).
I can still correct most these things fortunately.

Seeing both of these together, I'm reading 'socializing' as socializing on SN. I do think keeping the common touch might be one of SN's strengths. I'm always impressed by this.

Oh I meant socializing irl 😄
I do socialize a lot on here! It's challenged me to write more and it's made my thinking clearer so nothing I'd change about that.
I'm always impressed by this.
Thanks! Yeah it's why I still write the newsletter. I tend to feel disconnected from products that have lost their homemade vibe. Plus we are still very small and homemade so it'd be silly to begin to pretend otherwise.
