Justify most features by data. Once you start doing so, the roadmap & the way to build it changes drastically and for the better. It allowed every function of our company to be 100% aligned and to avoid arguing with only gut feeling on what's prioritary.

> Justify most features by data. What kind of data do you mean: data related to "this is something the customer wants", or "we've done studies showing this shade of blue has XYZ effect", or...well, I hope you get the idea. An example of what you mean would be interesting.

Going to the Amazon AWS web summit and setting up a stall.

Lead to huge customers and lots of revenue. I'm normally pretty introverted and dont like doing such things, but I thought I'd get out of my comfort zone

Automate everything, if I have to do the same thing twice, I would automate it... Automation is the best concept since the sliced bread :-)

Some examples of what specifically you’d automate?

everything about my stock trading robots, from stock selection, to order execution, to open position monitoring, to order closing...

Maybe I am confused but I don’t see how this is related to a startup.

This is my startup, it is focused on stock trading robots....

No problem, even tough it has been working great for many years and I am not looking for customers, investors on employees, I still consider it as a side project that grew in the same way as a startup, (using similar tools and strategies) and making me constantly more money than my “real” job without supervision and giving me the freedom to retire any time I wish to do so...

An easy transparent feedback section (where everyone can see everyone's comment and reply) Some of the best ideas came from their. But on the other hand alot of complaints too I guess.
