Your biggest threat is customer indifference.
Most founders obsess over what others are building.
Meanwhile, their users are churning.
Stop stalking competitors. Start obsessing over users.
What's your last user feedback?

The founder was spending $500 per customer.
The solution wasn't cheaper ads. It was better targeting.
Instead of 'startup founders' they targeted 'SaaS founders with 10-50 employees in fintech.'
Result: $150 CAC.
Specificity wins.

Most founders think they need 10 channels.
Here's what works:
✅ Pick 3 potential channels max
✅ Test each for 2 weeks minimum
✅ Double down on 1 that shows promise
Depth beats breadth every time.
What's your one winning channel?

It's failing because you haven't found the one thing that makes users say 'I can't live without this.'
Focus on that one thing. Make it amazing. Then scale.

I've seen founders celebrate 100 sign-ups while ignoring 90% churn.
Real PMF signals:
Users pay without being convinced
They complain when it's down
Stop optimizing funnels. Start talking to users.

Nothing worked.

One pivot = breakthrough growth.

They ignored me and 5x'd revenue in 4 months.
What I learned: Founders know their customers better than consultants do.
Sometimes the best advice is to trust your gut. 😉

Here's what actually works:
Validate your ability to reach customers.
Ideas pivot. Distribution channels don't.

The pitch deck isn't what gets you funded.
It's the 3-minute conversation before you even open your laptop.
Your founder friends need to see this.

1. Talk with the executive team
2. Listen to your customers
3. Draft an actionable plan
4. Hit a regulatory snag
5. Update strategy
