BillFlo Discusses First Year Learnings
by Allen Stern on July 2nd, 2009
As an entrepreneur, it’s always interesting to read about lessons other startups have learned as they move on their journeys. Paperless invoicing startup BillFlo has just hit their one-year anniversary and have put together a list of some of the lessons they have learned.
The lessons include:
- Customers don’t tell you what they want
- Remember your company values
- Startups are a fu**ing roller coaster
- Biases are dangerous
It seems nearly every entrepreneur I speak with has one learning in common — that is startups are roller coasters. If you’ve posted your learnings, leave a link in the comments and I will add it to the post.







Allen,
one of my favorite startups that share a lot of their experiences is Redfin, led by Glenn Kelman
