How to successfully launch a startup (go-live day)

Good list! In addition a follow up post about lessons learned from the launch would be interesting as well.

It's interesting that Drupal is being used for the startup. Drupal is used on a lot of sites but I don't normally hear much about it in startups. This was something even mentioned at a Drupal conference I attended a couple of weeks back.

Thanks! I plan on doing a follow up a couple of weeks after launch.

I am also not sure why Drupal isn't more used for startups - it's a powerful way to build a site. I can see that some startups want to build a lot of custom technology, but I didn't find anything Drupal couldn't do without a little tweaking in modules/themes. It also reduced my time to completion and test by a significant amount - not having to deal with a lot of the functionality most sites need anyway.

Well good luck. I look forward to seeing how things go. My partner and I are also working on a startup using Drupal. We're in early stages though.
