More recent articles of mine can be found on danieltenner.com
Swombat.com is no longer actively maintained, but all the posts here are still available for your use. The original objective was to regularly summarise and comment on the best articles for founders each day, as well as occasionally post our my own thoughts and advice, so that you could read the most useful articles while focusing on building your own startup. As most of the articles in the founders library were selected to be "evergreens", I hope you still find them useful!
Chris Arnold is the first to respond to my call for retrospective posts about what you've learnt this year. He has not one, but several lessons to share:
- Don't give yourself a year
- Don't go it alone
- Recognise your abilities
- Assumptions will kill you
- The wrong location can be hard
- Know who your customers are
- Work hard
- Give something back
- Attend Lean Startup Machine
If anyone else has learned something this year, do let me know and I'll post it up! Merry Christmas!
