Comment on Things we've done wrong with our startup

Incubator infatuation...We ended up getting attention, but we never had the product ready because…we were too busy trying to get their attention.

You raise an interesting issue. Whenever you do something, you should ask, "Am I doing this for my customer or for my investor?" The answer may surprise you.

I bet both your customer and your investor would prefer if you focused all of you attention on your customer.

I definitely was told not to, and we did it anyways. I guess it's one of those "watch out, the pot is hot" type of scenarios ... I had to touch the pot to really "know"

I am making an effort now to keep asking myself the hard questions.
