Startups biggest advantage against larger companies is speed of execution so please leverage this.

A great product does not drive sales and marketing at startups.

You need to invest here and capture customer attention first.

This isn’t the field of dreams where if you build it they will come.

[Akshita Singh @Titsflashing0]

Building a startup is like 90% perspective and mindset.

View every obstacle you’re facing as an opportunity to get better and don’t stress over everything.

You got this. Keep going.

When thinking of a startup begin with the customer.

For example...
1. Write down say "creators"
2. Write down products they use
3. Figure out which they dislike most
4. Create a competitive advantage
5. Make it easy to switch services
6. Add dark mode

There's your startup idea.

[Akshita Singh @Titsflashing0]

Venture capital having meltdown moment (for the 1000th time) while startup founders just keep building.

[Akshita Singh @Titsflashing0]

Every startup claims it's changing the world, but you can still thrive without an overt social purpose

How?

> Listen and respond to your staff and customers

> Build and reinforce a culture that prioritizes employee wellbeing

> Treat everyone as whole, unique individuals
