Thanks for the reply - good answers. I'm in the UK so location matters a lot to me, I'm also not really looking for new opportunities at the moment, but I thought it would be useful for you to see the kind of questions that I would expect to see answered. Good luck with finding a co-founder, and good luck with the prototype. Purely out of interest, (and feel free to not share), what's your strategy on MVP and launching? I ask because it's been a common pattern at places I've worked to sink time into prototypes without proof of market, so I'm personally pretty sold on a fail-early approach. edit: the 'focus on efficiency' sounds like it could be premature optimisation. No point building something that can scale to a bajillion users if you only get 100 on launch day. Just saying :) |

First, appreciated the feedback, even if you're overseas! If you know any eng folks in the SF area, please feel free to put them in touch.
As far as MVP/launching --> we are very much focused on getting a prototype into users' hands (whether in Beta or publicly) as soon as possible. We've done a hefty dose of market research and have put a lot of time into sizing & outlining our go-to-market strategy (these things are in line with our strengths and skill sets.)
The fail-early approach is the best one in my eyes as well, and when I reference optimization it's really about stripping functionality to make sure we are offering a clean UI/UX & suite of features, and are not over-zealous. A lot of apps just try to do too much, and that's a trap we won't fall into.
Scale will come after our prototyping and launch, that's for sure...so you're point is well taken.
Stay tuned!
