RentWiki Launches in Four Metros - Lesson for Entrepreneurs
September 16, 2008 – 6:40 pmRentWiki, a site we wrote about awhile back, has launched in 4 metros. The metros are Atlanta, Washington DC, San Francisco, and Dallas/Fort Worth.
Eric Wu, a very smart 25 year old, who was named BusinessWeek’s Top 25 Entrepreneur Under 25 and is a good acquaintance of mine, wrote on his blog, “RentWiki is live….sorta.”
In the post, Eric explains why they decided to launch before all the bugs were worked out. “Most people say you only get one chance at a launch, but I disagree.” says Eric, “With a value-added service that is sustainable, we will have plenty of opportunity to help renters. Our model, product, client-base, and users will change a thousand times before we finalize our vision and product, so it is important to get that feedback early and often.”
From experience, I completely agree with Eric. At the start-up stage, your product will never be ready for launch if you never launch it.

I will agree to, put it out there and start getting data and feedback.

Very good post Dan!
I think I changed my vision about ten times since I first launched my site :)
