Learning: if you ask your users to help you improve your product they will give you bad ideas. If you ask them to tell you stories about what keeps them up at night they will give you gold.

Happy moment: growing way faster than we did the year before. Rentify now transacts with more landlords than nearly every brick and mortar letting agent in the UK.

The old story is true: ask a farmer at the turn of the century (next last anyway) what they wanted, they'd say "a horse that pulls harder and eats less hay". They never said "a tractor".
