“for 6 years every decision we make about features we ask ourselves okay like what do we want to do and can we do that in a way that we where we crowdsource the content from the community itself eventually in the beginning we were Tech based interviews with Founders well you can crowdsource that right you can create a questionnaire that's templatized and you can send it to a lot of people you can have very minimal um overhead on that”

Crowdsource every feature before you build it yourself

Run every new feature through one filter: can the community produce the content itself? Templated founder questionnaires, self-served product pages, user-submitted job posts, crowdsourced articles. This is how a two-person team runs a 42K-product directory. If you can't crowdsource the refill, you're launching a treadmill, not an asset.
