“Just came across this weekly sprint update template from @ycombinator
Feels like this sort of fast, informal accountability + reporting would be suuuper useful to a lot of people who have just started working on something new” I like this weekly update format:
Are you launched?
How many weeks till launch?
How many customers did you talk to last week & what did you learn from them

What are your top 1-3 goals for next week
A great list of highly focused questions for any founder.
