When to Launch Fast — And When to Wait Two Weeks

I think it was Reid Hoffman who said like, if you're not a little bit embarrassed of your first product, you launched too late, right? Like there is a piece of like, you just have to go for it and launch and gather information and optimize from there. But the flip side of it is sometimes waiting a week or two to have some things fall into place. It's very different to have a conversation with even at a pre-seed of like, I have an idea to like, I have two signed pilots. Maybe you won't have full revenue, but I have two signed pilots with these very, let's say you're a healthcare company. With CVS and UnitedHealthcare. Oh, wow. Right? Okay. They're pilots. They're not making money, but these are real companies. And so sometimes delaying just a little bit to get those pieces, those kind of sexy pieces into place is, is very beneficial for the startup.

I love that. So the first one you talked about was pragmatism. And the second one there is letting things settle just for a minute.
