How to Validate a Product

The whole thing blew up in like 36 hours, basically. By December 30th, we had about 70 companies sending maybe 20 events per second through the system. So then we spent about a month just sort of tidying up the product. We built some like dev end things like we tried building a dashboard for PG for YC companies to share their growth metrics with PG. That was a bad idea. He never looked at it. And so we ended up building a bunch of more ways to collect data. Then we really launched on TechCrunch and then we started focusing on marketing.
