The story
Wannaparty was a platform to publish and manage parties between individuals. It was my first real digital product, and I face-planted with it.
What happened
I outsourced the development to an external company. Endless timelines, runaway costs, features that didn't work. The frustration of not being able to iterate fast is exactly what pushed me to learn to build myself.
The lesson
If you depend on others to build your product, you lose speed, money and control. And above all, I learned that a good product without distribution dies just the same. That idea, distribution before product, has ordered how I work ever since.
Let's talk
I work where product, technology and business meet, and I like talking to people building real things there. Whether it is to compare notes, a problem worth solving, a project, or a role, my inbox is open.
