Startup Field Notes

I often feel like I’m in the Air Force with all the co-pilot queries from investors. Our focus remains on steering our tech ship to its destination, not on who or what is flying it. Avoiding being an AI cautionary tale is a priority 🤖

We didn’t start out to be a platform. We focused on building something specific that people really needed and then just organically expanded out from there. This has arguably been the biggest factor in our success (besides luck) 🥇

Raising money is like running a marathon while getting a root canal 🏃

Managing a company right now is like building a ship in a bottle-there are so many constraints and there’s little room for error ⛵

There is no bigger disparity in perception between what people think it’s like to be an entrepreneur 😀 and what it’s really like 🥲
