2009 Product Software Review Writing 
Both Sides of the Table
DECEMBER 11, 2022
There were startups and a software industry but barely. Sure, we built SaaS products before the term even existed but at 31 it was hard to delineate reality from what all of the monied people around us were telling us what we were worth. Starting in 2009 I began writing checks consistently, year-in and year-out.

I was talking with an early-stage founder who has a product vision and wants to get it built. He wanted to get input from me on what he's doing, and he wants to begin to ask developers what it would take to build his product. Me : Product definition, use cases, feature list, wireframes, comps, really whatever you have.

We built that and put it on the App Store on December 24 of 2009.

Al Eisaian: This time, I didn't build the product and then go test it.

We’re going to start aggressively spend money on marketing our product. In a world where the economy only heads in one direction (read: 2009-2014) most investors & entrepreneurs forget to pay attention to gross burn. We want a strong balance sheet (um, ok. but that’s our firm’s money on your balance sheet.

Tech Diligence - Consider The Source. Rather, we value entrepreneurs' time and thus our diligence generally includes introducing them to potential customers and partners. Our approach is often additive to all parties, resulting in ongoing, productive relationships. Also in 2008, SMS was not pervasively used by businesses.

He had a partially built product. In my experience, it’s naive to think you can just “get developers to build the product” although it does sometimes work. Most of the great software startups that I’ve been involved in have at least one technical co-founder (and many have more than one.)
