I ran my first marathon in London this way in 2003 raising $3,000 for Parkinson’s disease (and finishing in under 4 hours – my publicly stated goal). I was recently talking with a startup company who wanted me to try their product. I’m a big believer in product stability & performance before adding too many features.

If you haven’t followed this blog in the past, I’m a guy who launched several web startup/product ideas, acquired several more, had many failures and enough successes that I was able to shut down my consulting firm back in 2008.

So for this first post, here’s the best advice I can give you: join an awesome founding team and get your product out the door ASAP. But six months in, you’re gonna cry when you see someone else put out that same product you’re pitching me right now. Like I said, forget everything else and just get your product out the door.

Yair Margolin: I was a member of the core team at Peerapp in 2003, a supplier of caching solutions for ISPs. We raised $6 million, the solution was sold to Netvision for $1 million before the product even existed. Media centers were a hot topic, and I used the XBOX media center to develop the product.
