What others said, and
- You have to find tools to expand your working memory (whether it's a relentless "put everything in JIRA" mindset or simple todo list)
- Investors are inherently way more skeptical of you, especially if it's a moonshot
- You have to suddenly get good at a lot of things beyond what you're building

A lot of it becomes meta learning imo. Something that’s helped as personally picking up lots of hobbies which I am a beginner at and the rapidly getting better. Same process for learning dancing and marketing if you look close enough 😂

In a previous company, I had co-founders that carried with their particular strengths in operations and business development, allowing me to focus strictly on technology needs. Going solo, and in no small part due to my time there, I've had to rapidly get good at those things.

Oh yeah, personal productivity tooling becomes critical. I think the bit about getting good at new things is a fun challenge and becomes high leverage in life in general. What’s your experience been like on getting good at lots of things?
