Lessons learned since founding
Bold and quick decision making is what gives startups an edge. Given fewer resources, we are always struggling to develop our software, sales, and customer support, etc.
Hiring
cannot keep up with the growth of the business, and advertising expenses are not always sufficient. Taking risks and quick decisions is the only way to be successful.
