Do you have a public roadmap for your product? It’s essential to build trust with your user community GitHub does 👇🏽 (share yours if you do, in the replies below)
We just published the GitHub product roadmap so that you can see what we're building now: github.com/github/roadmap This will become more complete over time, and we'll keep it updated as things change. We're excited about "working with the garage door open." Feedback welcome!

Get your active users to pitch the product back to you
Today I’ve met a founder who - at the end of each fundraising meeting - asks the potential investor to briefly pitch her company to her. She said it helps her get a feel for how aligned their visions are and how excited the investor really is. Pretty cool hack 😎

6. Think about making your numbers public and becoming an Open Startup. This not only creates more trust with colleagues and customers, but is also great for marketing. @baremetrics offers a curated list at openstartups.com. We are one of them! friendly.is/open

The most value your idea has, is on the day you came up with it After that it’s a decaying function of time and can only be saved by executing on your idea
