Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders
S10 E5: Sebastian Raffaele, Minotaur Trading Systems

Definitely two moments where we really hit a rock and it put us backwards for a bit, simply scaling too fast, trying to just assume that what we had in front of us was ready to be taken to the next level.

We definitely made that mistake twice, but what we've realized now, sometimes scaling too fast and getting excited and trying to do it all really quickly, that was definitely not the answer because it bit us in the foot twice. Growing your business needs to be a combination not only of paid marketing, but you need organic marketing as well.

You need ways for people to get onto your product without you having to pay money to acquire them. Now we have this kind of flow where we have the right balance of organic and paid marketing, and it's allowing us to grow without hemorrhaging our cash flow. Now, I'm not going out there and telling people listening to this, don't try and scale your business quickly.

I'm just letting you know what happened to us when we tried to do that twice. It actually sent us backwards and sometimes for months at a time. I have no problem admitting that because this whole journey, Noah, has been making mistakes to understand what to do next. It hasn't been just rapid straight line growth the whole time.

And every time we make a mistake, yeah, in the moment, you're emotional and frustrated. But all of our progress has come out of mistakes. And that to me is like the most important thing. It's understanding when you go wrong, this doesn't mean your business is done. This means you need to evaluate what you did, make sure you don't do it again, and then push forward past that.

Oh man, I think definitely I'm most proud of the team. I'm definitely proud of the product. I want to put the team first because like I said earlier to you, Noah, I've met so many entrepreneurs and so many people who have such good ideas, right? Like really smart, genius ideas, but that doesn't always translate into success in a market environment.
