Yeah, I think this is a really good point. Founder life is both exhilarating and terrifying at the same time, which is part of what makes it so exciting, at least for me. 😅

Totally! Before the numbers start rolling in, all you can really do is focus on the process and trust that the numbers will come in time. Glad you’re finding ways to avoid burnout! 🌱

Completely agree! It’s important to move quickly… but if you can’t sustain the pace, then you’re probably going to fail. 😅

I completely agree. In our work helping startups to start up at Solid Ground AI, connection is the #1 thing that founders seek from us. People first! 🌱

Not sure I’m “burnt out” this week so much as just entirely running on coffee 🤪 WBU?

I always figure we wouldn’t pivot if it wasn’t the right move. We’re shifting directions because we see greener pastures 😅

I’m excited to hear what’s next for you! This sounds suspiciously like a “good” update, despite you description of the cutting of losses. 😂 🤔 👏🏻

Wow! Good for you! I think that’s a great point, too. And for isolation, you can always find community, like this, online 🌱 ✨

Gonna be brave and go first! I just simply did not get enough coding done this week. Plain as that. 🙈 Maybe more coffee will fix it?

Totally! I just made this comparison the other day, especially since so many of the decisions are about shared finances.

I do think there is some counter-intuitive logical truth to this. "Speed" is often listed as a pro of solopreneurship. But I think having a cofounder helps keep me driving forward fast. Not just accountability, but also having someone who can celebrate the wins with you.

I think this is a spot-on take, actually. I can see how with the wrong founder, there would be added issues. With the right one, it definitely is a value add.

Honestly, same. Matt and I have worked together successfully in a product design setting before, which helped me see the benefits, and I don’t think I can imagine doing it with anyone else. 💯

Glad I’m not alone in that! But ya know? When we were brave enough to leave stealth mode in our startup, we found so much support! So totally worth the short-term feeling of nervousness. 🌱

Nice to see it put so simply! This resonates. 💯
1. Visibility was such a vulnerable step, but so so rewarding.
2. Do they like what they see? So far so good, but ultimately TBD 😂 🌱

Don’t forget community! Honestly, I love socials for the simple fact that there are lots of supportive founders bonding over the experience.
