@Bradydigital Three of those are just one skill wearing different hats. Copywriting and sales are distribution at different scale. AI prompting is more of a tool, not a skill. Obsess over distribution. Everything else is downstream
@NWExplained Sure, but rarely without capital and a team by year two. The romantic solo founder story usually leaves those parts out. Solo at the start, not solo at scale.
@izuruike They aren't waiting is the correct mind-set. This same trap kills fundraises. Founders wait for the "perfect" moment to start raising, and the window closes while they polish the deck. Readiness matters, but motion beats waiting every time.
@darrenmarble The thread connecting all three: none were the warm intro everyone insists you need. Paid access, a referral, a two year DM. That's the point. Capital is reachable if you're targeted and patient enough to play the long game
@DanielSmidstrup When they pay before it's finished. Surveys and "I'd totally use that" are usually noise. The only honest signal is money or changed behavior while the product is still ugly.
@pmitu Build in public is def great for some businesses but we've seen it be a liability for others. In regulated space, or where a competitor just has to watch your feed to copy you. It is a great way to build, you just need to watch for oversharing.
@hthieblot A fast, honest no. Founders don't need more maybes, they need investors who decide quickly so they can stop burning weeks chasing a soft yes. The great ones respect your time as much as they protect their capital.
@Zack_Shooter Know when to fold'em: Poker rewards reading the table and bluffing well, building rewards the opposite: being honest about what's broken and grinding to fix it. I'd learn more from how a founder runs a bad month than how they play a good hand
