Honoured to join PM @kajakallas &
President @vonderleyen in Tallinn to mark Independence Day. #Estonia knows freedom is not for free. #NATO & the EU stand with #Ukraine in its fight for freedom.

The “get shit done” founder always beats the “perfectly planned strategy” founder because speed is a startup's biggest advantage.

Most successful startups sell solutions to problems, not the tech they use.

When building a startup 70% done today is better than 100% done with month-long delays in search of perfection that does not exist.

Ship fast, listen to customer feedback, iterate, improve, repeat steps until product market fit is found. This is how startups are built, pretty simple.

Most successful startup founders don't whine, complain, make excuses, blame people or things out of their control, they just get shit done.

Building a great product is a creative, chaotic process which you won’t get right every time, so you have to also be learning from success and failure #productmanagement #startups
