Lesson #1. PR is good for investors and strategic partners, not user acquisition
Don’t focus PR

Lesson #2. Customers first, partners second. We put partners first, customers second because we wanted to increase business scale!
Don’t think scale of business at first.Customers first!

Lesson #3. Pivoted from B2C to B2B. The problem was just wanted to make a profit, and the business direction went down a passionless path
I know you need a profit, but must think both short term and long term.
