Founder’s Guide to Product

Hello Founders and Friends,

After 20 years in business, I’ve come to appreciate marketing far more than when I started.

Building words can be just as important as building code—and it’s much faster. However, many early-stage founders underestimate the important of great marketing (like I did).

Here are some of my biggest learnings on the topic.

Let me know if they resonate?

Warmly,

Dave

P.S. Here’s a comprehensive list of all my essays about marketing. Please, write back with a topic you’d like me to write about.

P.P.S. I run a global founder community called Founder Coach. We select high-growth founders, train them in how to coach, and curate stage-specific peer groups to accelerate their development. Our founders are backed by Coatue, Accel, YC and pretty any top fund you care to mention.

If you know an ambitious founder who might be curious to learn more, would you connect me directly?
