Hello readers,
Like we say in the journalism industry, there’s no such thing as a publishable first draft – and that can hold true for the startup scene too. It’s a rare occurrence for the first iteration of a product to be the best version of it.
For that reason, startups thrive on feedback. It’s impossible to improve your product or service if you don’t know what your users like and dislike about it. Without getting users to chime in, any improvements you make are based on your own biased opinions as the provider of those products or services.
Personally, I live for feedback. I can’t get enough of it. So I’d like to humbly ask you to let me know what you think of our FOMO Saturday newsletters. You can either hit us up at newsletter@techinasia.com or fill in this web form.
Be brutal, be honest. And thank you for reading our newsletters.
