Warning: I used to think you needed a perfect plan before launching anything

A mentor at a startup meetup in Denver said 'just get your first ten customers, then figure it out' and it clicked. How do you guys decide when something is 'good enough' to put out there?

Launch with the smallest thing that solves a real problem. My first product was a simple spreadsheet tool. Ugly but it worked. Got feedback fast. Fixed the big issues people actually complained about. Perfection just means you're talking to yourself.

Launching half-baked stuff can ruin your reputation from day one. Remember that game studio that pushed out a broken early access title? They never recovered from those first terrible reviews. A buggy spreadsheet tool could corrupt someone's data, and then you've lost trust forever. Sometimes taking time to polish is what separates a real product from a joke.
