If I had to start my company from zero today, knowing what I know now, these are the five things I would do. After nearly shutting down Rella with almost nothing left in the bank, we've grown to over 5,500 organizations and $4M+ in annual revenue — profitably. Here's what I learned the hard way so you don't have to.
