Thanks for sharing, that's a good view into some of the hustle it takes to get good traction. Congrats on the raise too!

I like the " != innovation". How a company responds to criticism says a lot about their culture - and these guys have a sense of humour!

I'm sorry to be a downer, but this is mostly gossip. For me, the most inspiring bit is the number of events they've pitched to. That sure helps with awareness, networking, recruiting, meeting advisors.

Appreciate the feedback. The truth is that pitches, advisors, fundraising etc has been a very very large part of what we've done to bring the product to market. This timeline really does highlight the memorable moments on our journey so far. Sometimes it can be a long haul, gotta celebrate the highs!

I'd love to know more from the tech perspective. Like what features/changes/insights resulted in the biggest bumps for shoplocket? Were there many idea pivots before you settled on shoplocket? Any key takeaways for other early stage startups?
