Geez. I just don’t get this bullshit: launch 7 products in 14 days, 48 products in 12 months. Man, spend some time and bring QUALITY. I don’t say you need to waste time bringing the pixel-perfect and all the features in the world. I say: spend some time understanding your users and their needs. Moonshot railgun won’t help you build something meaningful long-term.

It is NOT failing to admit you are low on cash. Tell your board and investors once you hit <6 mo cash. And keep them updated regularly from there. They can't always help right the ship, but sometimes they can. Once cash is down to 0-2 months, it becomes much much harder.

Some more facts about startups: 90% of startups survive at least one year. 69% of startups survive two years. 50% of startups survive past the five years. So commit to building for years not months. Startups are a game of perseverance.

A certain amount of risk is necessary in order to grow. Those who rely only on security will sooner or later lose their business.
