Until you have PMF, there are only 4 things you should be doing: > talking to customers > improving the product > creating content > finding more customers to talk to That's it.

@PhilipJohnston This is exactly what Grub Market is trying to do, funny thing is, their own roll ups won’t use their tech because they botched execution.

All the enterprise AI startups going after verticals have the right idea. Pick a market, deeply understand the workflows, build simple software to model the workflows, and use AI to augment the human judgment involved. Huge opportunity in 1,000’s of categories.

I am so excited to unveil what the team has been building. It is the future of the entire international fresh produce trade industry—no one is anywhere near this level of AI powered operational efficiency.

One of the harder parts about being a CEO/founder I think is getting out of your own way. If I have one regret in 2025 it's that I took too much control too often rather than just letting my hitters do their thing.
