This sounds silly but when I launched my first startup 5 years ago, we didn't put in a vesting schedule 😅
Wanted to see what others have done but also things we know to avoid in the future!
Hiring lawyers on a retainer before launching a product, lol. Sharing this here so no-one would do same stupid thing I did when I was starting.

Didn't build a audience before launch.

Not starting any sooner.

Prioritisation. The initial goals for the startup should be to get the direction right in terms of product, market, possible users etc before throttling on execution and tech-related challenges. Going about the process without a hypothesis resulted in panic and random dart-throwing as a strategy.

Nothing new to this thread, but not jumping on marketing and sales earlier. If I were to go back, I'd start and/or hire marketers MUCH earlier.

Be more resilient and focus on only one product

Biggest mistake was get a technical co-founder who had stopped coding in his career a long time ago. He may not be needed to code, but he is the final bastion if all code breaks down, (and it inevitably did)

everything i do is a mistake, just trying to learn 😂
