Founder hindsight

What I'd tell myself before starting a company

Placeholder. Replace with your own.

I was confidently wrong about a lot. Here is the shortlist, in the order I learned it.

  1. Nobody cares about the architecture. Not customers, not investors, not your co-founder after month three.
  2. The thing you built in a weekend to demo is the product. The thing you spent four months on is the thing you’ll delete.
  3. “Enterprise-ready” is a sales word, not an engineering milestone.

None of this would have stopped me. It might have made me faster.
