Founder Playbook

Shipping
let me tell you the first MVP was garbage I mean when I tell you garbage it was the worst MVP you could ever imagine it would like crash every couple of hours but being in sales I was like I could still I could sell the hell out of this like I'm just gonna you need this in your life

Ship the garbage MVP and sell the hell out of it

Spencer hired one developer, shipped an MVP that crashed every few hours, and pitched it anyway. Non-technical founders with a broken product who can sell out-ship polished engineers who treat marketing as someone else's job. The build-in-public crowd over-indexes on craft and under-indexes on selling.
