Your job as CEO of a startup is to realize great products lose often to better brand, marketing, storytelling and distribution.

I find something truly thrilling about discovering or inventing new products. Is it the promise of untapped potential, the mystery of what that product will become in the years ahead? Whatever it is, it never gets old.

[Xavier Serra @Xaviserrag]

@koenbok @framer I love it!

[Xavier Serra @Xaviserrag]

It's crazy how hard it is to balance a two-sided network product.

[Xavier Serra @Xaviserrag]

@bchesky Love it! It’s amazing to see the progress! And specially how long it took as well. Not an easy feat 💪🏼

@agazdecki We literally started a social platform for IRL events a month before the pandemic 😅. And then started to fundraise just after the collapse. We are still going and it has not been easy.

[Xavier Serra @Xaviserrag]

@carlesnunez Love this! Personality matching 🙂

[Xavier Serra @Xaviserrag]

Making friends should be as easy as ordering an Uber.

[Xavier Serra @Xaviserrag]

@carlesnunez That’s the point! How to make that spark happen instead of just meeting a lot of people without really creating that deep connection. What do you think are the key variables?

[Xavier Serra @Xaviserrag]

@justingordon212 - HIIT (High intensity interval training)
- Meditation
- Call a family member or a friend (or even better meet with them in person!)

[Xavier Serra @Xaviserrag]

We finally feel comfortable with our progress to start a pre-seed fundraising for @palupapp. Exciting couple of months ahead! Any advice for a first time founder? #investing #startups

[Xavier Serra @Xaviserrag]

First weekend not working in a long time. It makes such a huge difference mentally, but it’s so hard to do it when you’re a founder.

[Xavier Serra @Xaviserrag]

@lexfridman When you’re ambitious this is a constant struggle, it helps to look back and to see how much you’ve grown.

[Andrew Gazdecki @agazdecki]

Friendly reminder if you have just a few happy paying customers, you’re doing better than 99% of startups so keep going.

[Xavier Serra @Xaviserrag]

@agazdecki Ideally do both. Talk to customers during the day, and code during the night. Dark mode is not going to code itself!

[Xavier Serra @Xaviserrag]

@TimIsenman @palupapp @PocketRocketiOS @FairWeatherApp @anydistanceclub @Nikola_App It does! Hey what’s that dope app at the bottom left 😳
