Confessions of a Startup CEO: Pre-launch Jitters

September 1, 2010 · 4 comments

We’re launching Profitably v1.0 this week, which means we are open to accepting our first paying customers. Quite a big step, but with it comes some major league jitters around the “Minimum Viable Product” and sending our baby out into the real world!

Congrats on your alpha (1.0) launch! I can relate to your experience. Its always best to put it out there and see what sticks, plus you learn so much from the feedback, even if it just about your messaging.

Totally. We’ve actually completed a soft launch (softest launch ever, perhaps) without a hitch, and we’re officially in the marketplace. (Queue jitters). Big website update at profitably.com next week, and then a formal launch with press the following. Fingers crossed!
