I don't think that I can guarantee success. There was some angle of luck involved. However over time, because I am getting faster, I am getting more shots at the game. Earlier I could play one game over 2 years and make many mistake (which now look obvious to me) along the way. Now I can play multiple games every year. So that helps you build your own luck to some extent.
> Q1. What was the prerequisite for your success (product/service, team, market)?
Drive and desire of learn would probably be biggest. No task is good or bad: If something has to be done it has to be done.
Acquiring more skills apart from programming: devops, product, hiring, management, sales, marketing, legal, accounting. This help you develop holistic view of your product and company.
> Q2 What technology space are you in? (Digital/brand vs high-tech)?
Product for end consumer. The end product itself is not very high tech. I don't know a humble way to say it - but the tech powering the company is really well architected and managed.
> Q3 What weré your difficultis when iterating over your product concepts, and what was the iteration frequency?
This could be a 5000 word reply. In the end difficulties don't matter. Brutally prioritize and keep at it till you overcome it. Know when to cut your losses and move on.
> Q4 How long did it take to take off?
I had 3 products which saw good adoption. Only the current one is financially successful. Each of those took 1-2 months to build and we knew within a week that it was going to be successful.
