For pre-Series A companies, there are two only things you have to do: 1. Get to product market fit 2. Don't die Having a small team makes both of these much, much easier. Talk to customers, don't spend money, pound it out until you're there.

Thanks Nick! I really appreciate your quick insights 💪 and Absolutely, the agility and focused intensity of a small team can indeed be a strategic advantage in the crucial stages before Series A - Any lessons learned or specific strategies that have been particularly effective?

David Rusenko said it best: There are only two hard problems at a startup: product-market fit and building a world-class team.
