The kind of business development a startup should be doing is called "sales". IE, get someone to give you money for your product.

@MichaelBabich@paulg@sama A great product will make it relatively easy to sell. A crappy product will not sell. Goes hand in hand. -
@RahulPonnala@paulg@sama Not true. Try selling great game by unknown coder w/o great PR campaign in AppStore. Nobody would even notice it. -
@MichaelBabich@paulg@sama Try making 100 users love your prod.They'll tell their friends and they'll tell theirs.Great things take time! -
@RahulPonnala@paulg@sama So, now you have 500 users after 100 users recommendation. What's next? How to get 1 million users? -
@MichaelBabich@paulg@sama I would say Focus. Rinse. Repeat - Talk to your users/sales. Build the product. Agree? -
@RahulPonnala@MichaelBabich Please Rahul, let us know about the startup you bootstrapped to 1M+ MAU.
