Common mistakes when using CAC and/or LTV: using revenue as a proxy for LTV, overestimating LTV when you don't have clear data, failing to take into account the time value of money, not segmenting users by paid vs. organic when doing the math.

Here are some of the details from the initiative that stand out to me:
Emphasis on walking, biking, & high quality transit: Compact development is at the core of this proposal. It leads to walkability and enables efficient, high-quality transit services. This not only reduces carbon emissions but also fosters a sense of community and accessibility. Imagine being able to walk or bike to most of your destinations, with public transport as a convenient option for longer trips. The city plans to embrace townhomes and small apartment buildings that create gentle density, moving away from the sprawling single-family homes that dominate much of American suburbia. This approach allows for more people to live in a smaller area, preserving natural spaces and reducing the need for long commutes.

Many founders might be tempted to cast a wider net and get more users onto the product — but Ofstad again cautions against moving too quickly here. With just pockets of those click-into-place customer moments, the Airtable team knew it would be an unusually slow path to launch.

How to approach decentralization for a tradco - First map the governance surface: - Who are all stakeholders, what are their authorities - Then figure out what is desired state. - Then doing one authority delegation at a time, and then building meta process around assessing, choosing, and decentralizing specific authorities in the community.
