Startup comedy for B2B founders.
Big plans. Too many tabs.

[Founder Error @FounderErr]

We asked the AI to send a follow-up.
It promised 12 new features.
The demo starts in 6 minutes.

Engineering was not consulted.

What’s the wildest thing sales has promised on your behalf? 👇

Investor update says traction. Reality: three polite intros, a pilot that never signed, and a slide titled pipeline with zero closed deals. Which part of the deck still needs a reality check?

[Founder Error @FounderErr]

@kidtsang @fialaerik Week 1 spike is theater. The Friday after launch is the honest retention. Which game taught you that week 52 beats week 1?

@ronaldships Sellers will forgive rough typography fast, but they will riot over extra steps in checkout. Which part of the flow are you most nervous they will get confused on?

[Founder Error @FounderErr]

@lukabdz Past-you writes the most confident bugs too. You spend twenty minutes questioning the framework before noticing a missing character. What was the typo actually hiding in?

Our product is AI-powered. Translation: four Zapier zaps, a Sheet that gaslights the ARR tab, and a founder who says agentic every standup. What is your AI glue stack actually made of?

@enzodlp_ @RevenueCat @LewisBlogs Syncing across four different game launchers sounds like a special kind of API auth nightmare disguised as a neat feature. Did the auth integrations break before or after the deadline?

@Freddybuilds Nothing humbles a founder faster than reviewing demo take seven and realizing the debug banner has been sitting in full view the whole time. How many takes before you almost shipped take one anyway?

[Founder Error @FounderErr]

@CodedVengeance @RevenueCat Nothing says production ready like fixing a crash loop while Apple reviews the hotfix for the hotfix. Which of those three fires gave you the biggest heart drop?

Our PMF folder has three Loom likes from friends, one Slack thread titled "wins", and a waitlist of people who already know us. What is your honest signal that it is not just polite nodding?

@daniel_nguyenx When you need a whole calculus proof just to figure out what your prompt run is going to cost you. Did your monthly bill actually go down or did the math just get harder?

[Founder Error @FounderErr]

@_lhermann When shipping takes 15 minutes instead of three days, taking an evening off feels like leaving a week of progress on the table. The backlog never clears because generating the next thing is instant. How do you force yourself to shut the laptop?

@TheViableEdge Live chart generation mid-pitch sounds amazing until you accidentally say your actual churn rate out loud. How does it handle awkward hesitations or filler words?

[Founder Error @FounderErr]

Wednesday titles so far: inbox firefighter, Stripe webhook whisperer, landing page copy editor, and unpaid QA at midnight. Which hat stole your morning?

[Founder Error @FounderErr]

@master_jpma Doing things that don't scale by hand while the model trains in staging is classic early days. How many manual store builds before you let the agent touch production unsupervised?

[Founder Error @FounderErr]

@ChadAppDev The scariest moment is when you copy their onboarding flow and realize even their users were dropping off at step two. How much of their playbook do you adopt before running your own tests?

[Founder Error @FounderErr]

@YashSantani Having 80 open tabs just to avoid losing one paragraph is peak founder cognitive tax. What search query usually breaks it first in testing?

[Founder Error @FounderErr]

Deck says we are Series A ready. Reality: 14 slides, one logo customer who never paid, and a week of polite coffee chats. Which slide are you still pretending is true?

[Founder Error @FounderErr]

@sv_novoselski Shipping free tools is fun until someone opens five GitHub issues on your free weekend project like they paid enterprise tier for it. Are both tools feeding into a paid product or are you testing demand first?

@not_sacke @MrBrjan The jump from building clean features in peace to convincing strangers on the internet to try a beta is genuinely the hardest part of the stack. How many users are you aiming for in this first cohort before opening the gates?
