Developing powerful tools is only half the battle. True success lies in adoption and usage. To achieve this:
1. Identify compelling use cases
2. Foster a community around your product
3. Empower early adopters with influence
4. Cultivate product loyalists
By involving users in the development process and making them feel valued, you create advocates who will drive wider adoption. Remember: a tool's potential is realized only when it's in the hands of those who can benefit from it.
What’s annoying across all social that there hasn’t been remedy for other than blue checks is preventing copycat/fake accounts of people. Even on this platform I’ve had a few fake accounts posing as @Lyn Alden — there is only one Lyn. But several posing as her.

When you try to explain to a cofounder that 90/10 equity splits for a two founder team is a red flag & it’s not ethical for the cofounder to demand over 80% of an entire $250k seed investment fund their salary demand — yet they refuse to compromise …. You have to do the ethical thing for yourself and for that investor and part ways w that individual.
Startups should be fun. I know Gordon Gecko said greed is good but in reality it’s best to create fair scenarios where all founders and investors on that team win together.
