While it’s clearly a work in progress, we wanted to note that the founding ethos here is the Lean Startup mode, in which we try to move fast and work toward being perfect, not wait to do something until it’s perfect.

“Every startup is going to make stupid mistakes that seem blatantly obvious in retrospect. Don’t let this scare you.”
