Dear startup founders & product builders, The whole idea of "product-market fit," i.e. that there's some magical, universal, knowable tipping point for when you should stop improving your product and start marketing it, is dumb.🤪 A thread.

But "product-market fit" makes us do really dumb things, like: A) Wait to do marketing until product is a "fit" B) Chase a nebulous gut feel from investors C) Look for data to fit a narrative and, perhaps worst, D) Largely ignore product after achieving the mythical "fit"

Me, whose star wars literacy is solely based on 30 years of pop culture, watching a mandorian episode: “Is that a baby R2D2?” “Is that a baby JarJar Binx?” “Is that a baby wookie?”

The ability to participate in our democracy shouldn’t be determined by your state of residence. With Republican state legislatures rolling back the clock on voting rights, it’s critical Congress pass #HR1 & #HR4 to ensure equal access to the ballot box. ajc.com/politics/stace…

Stop glamorizing “the grind” and start glamorizing getting 7+ hours of sleep at night, having healthy relationships, feeling safe at work, taking sick days, being paid a living wage, working hard when you’re at work, boundaries, and self-caring your way to success.
