@chadkoh Yes!

So much of this depends on you, and your unique perspective.

Which opportunities do *you* see, that others might be missing?

@Nick_Franklin Yeah.

I think my comment was mostly about how many startups optimize for user growth, visitor growth, engagement growth, community growth etc (instead of revenue).
