NOTE

Testing Your Product Before Launch

Startup advice often emphasizes testing your product before launch to ensure its success. An analogy is made with a house full of pipes - trying to check and repair each broken pipe individually would be time-consuming. Instead, the recommendation is to turn the water on and identify the leaks directly. This approach allows for a clear understanding of what needs fixing and emphasizes the iterative nature of startup development. It highlights that startups essentially 'turn the water on, fix what's broken, rinse and repeat' to build successful companies.
