FINISHED: YC Build Sprint Final Update (Day #29)

The last day of the sprint! (check out the previous update here)

It's a slightly emotional day for me today.

My team worked really hard to try to meet our goals but fell short by a huge amount. Still, we shot for the starts and... learned to fly? Even though we didn't accomplish our goal (which was super difficult to be fair) we learned a lot during the sprint and feel we can do we even better in the coming days.

As it is the sprint's last day, I'm going to be posting the summary of our sprint.

It's been a great run. I think out of everything that happened during the sprint, two things I'll try to keep in mind from now on is to...

  • If you find you have a problem, double down and focus on it - NOW. I never got around to expanding my top funnel, my biggest problem.
  • Setting ambitious goals is important but they also need to be realistic. Otherwise they end up just draining your energy and leave you more lost than before.

Like I said before, I think I'll keep doing updates as it has been very good for my accountability (and sanity haha). Hope some of this information is also helpful to anyone out there!
