A fair amount of your FFF funding will likely go towards product development. Depending on the complexity of your product you may or may not be able to complete a working prototype or beta version with your FFF capital. If not, at the bare minimum you will need an interactable wireframe mockup that demonstrates the product.

I learned how to better run a product management process. I learned how to integrate customers into our product development process. But in our first year of sales (and those were really shitty years to be selling software) we sold $2.1 I learned how to establish sales targets and how to manage a sales pipeline.

Or should I launch products and a startup for each of them, focusing on only 1 product at a time? I would focus on one product and set a goal to generate $1M in yearly revenue from it. Do that – nothing else but one product / company / focus and get to $1M in sales with atleast $15% net profit. do something else.

Startups are developing IP relevant to the disruption. In contrast, Facebook’s acquisition of the virtual reality hardware company Oculus still requires significant product development, identification of a viable business model – and the target market and revenue may never materialize.

It became clear to me that the mission of marketing in most companies has to be to support sales. While this may seem obvious to anyone not in sales and marketing, trust me, in a technology company this is a conceptual breakthrough. Every product marketer thought they should help define the product feature set, etc.

Product leaders often believe it’s cheaper to buy software than build it. You don’t need a large development team or outside capital to build your own software from scratch. Poor project planning can lead to development cycles running over budget or over time. New development projects will shift resources from other initiatives.

At a certain point in IMVU’s development, we faced a difficult choice. It took hundreds of years for newspapers to learn to behave as worthy holders of this public trust and cover the news without fear or favour, and create a firewall between news and views and the ad-sales side of the operation. I'd be foolish to believe so.
