@vaibhavbetter finding the right vendors is an art. especially in design, now that strategy and vision have become scarce.

but once you do find a studio that can take care of all GTM deliverables, it's a superpower.

"only hire people better than you" changed the way i run my design studio.

the ocean analogy breaks when the market itself is small and is still maturing, p much any niche/vertical application. the startups that are getting the most lucrative funding (relative to the stage + story + pedigree) have been in traditionally-operated business markets from tier 1 countries. some examples: vertical voice agents, b2b operational/workflow agents, etc. but truly speaking: most agents are still in very early stages and hence even if there’s a lot of competition it becomes easy to gain traction by building the wow features before the boring features (which your competition might be building earlier for arriving at a sustainable product). then you’ll just have to figure out how to make the best out of that traction.

i feel old. it’s been a decade since i started working at a capacity to earn. somewhere along the way, like most people, i lost the plot.

nothing beats the understanding you get from building via experimentation. with the same breaking down of fundamentals and rebuilding from them, me and my team have delivered >50 one-of-a-kind projects for >30 exceptional clients. and we’re now here to spread the message.

@shl nothing is built with just luck or just hard work ;)
