We did just that recently - we looked back at our first customers to learn about their experiences with their dooups. For us, a new product that offered a very new concept was always going to bring about some interesting lessons. But like most inventors, we fell in love with our product.  We knew it inside-out The process of assembling that first batch in our first and only warehouse back in 2012, meant we understood how each part depended on the other to enable a smooth operation.
