Years designing for startups
Most founders I work with have a strong vision, and usually a prototype or first build to prove it. What they don’t have yet is a product as strong as the idea behind it.
Most teams try to close that gap by doing more. More features, more metrics, more directions, until the work gets diluted.
I’ve found the opposite works better.
