Hi,

Having founded and run CB Insights certainly helped mostly cuz I had some sense of where to focus.

In this case, we had product-market fit to use a tech term. My dad's product was great.

And so I didn't need to worry about that. If I had to worry about that, this probably doesn't unfold as it did.

That meant I just had to worry about 2 things:

1. Making sure we were buying raw materials at rates that allowed us to sell the product profitably 2. 'Ringing the register' aka making sales. And that ultimately is not intellectually hard but just requires effort, i.e. researching, calling, emailing, etc.

Hey. This is completely unrelated but I wanted to ask if you provide an RSS feed for your blog? I did find a /feed page but I'm unsure if it's working.

I set this blog up 24 hours ago and just started moving old writings to it and still have another 200ish to go.

So the honest answer is I don’t know.

Tbh, getting on HN today was completely unexpected.

I believe you can subscribe via email for updates. And hopefully I’ll figure out the RSS thing soon as well. Thanks

OP here. @asanwal, in case you're wondering, a mutual connection of ours liked your LinkedIn post featuring this article. That's how I found this.

Gotcha and thanks.

I just started getting a few texts from friends saying 'your post is on HN' and was confused. Prob been 10 years since anything I wrote has been on here so was an unexpected surprise especially as the comments are almost all quite nice (didn't expect that :)

Looks like this is a WordPress site, and the HTML source does contain:

    <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title=" &raquo; Feed" href="https://anandsanwal.me/feed/" />

So I'd assume that https://anandsanwal.me/feed/ is indeed the RSS feed. IIRC, /feed/ is what WordPress uses for that purpose.
