Feedback

I discovered an interesting startup community through Nic Brisbourne’s blog, The Equity Kicker: Startupping.

Nic points to Mark Moore, founder of One True Media, who explains the approach we’ve taken with Scouta.

I’m preaching to the choir here but the best decision a startup can make is to get the initial product out quickly, take feedback, and iterate rapidly. I understand that not all companies can work in this mode (some require longer time to create and iterate due to complexities around the product, etc) but the closer you can work to this methodology than the better chance you will have for success. In my experience, I have found that what you envision in your original business plan will not be true after six months. This is because you will understand the market better and have a better feel for what will really be successful after being in business for a while.

I have to say it’s not an easy step. We’ve got so many features that we’d like to add though, that if we held off until we had them all in place, we may never launch. But it can feel like a risk when you think you don’t have everything you’d like members to have access to. However, it’s amazing how feedback from members can change the priorities.

So, make sure you send us feedback. Scouta is out there to make our members happy. Let us know anything and everything: feedback@scouta.com.
