Startups today are even leaner than they were 20 years ago. Not just because the tools are better, but founders are better. Especially in Web3 (..no bias). They’ve got better access to capital, creative ways to distribute, and a better understanding of product-market fit.
It used to be that a typical founder could build and maybe / hopefully sell. But term sheets, fundraising, and real GTM strategy were out of their wheelhouse and others needed to burden those things.
With small teams now.. expectations are high because everyone understands those roles today, and there’s nowhere to hide.
Every skipped task, dropped ball, every “good enough.”… that 💩 stacks up and it stinks.
The difference between something that works and something that wins (like most things in life) are determined by the people that focus on follow-through, obsession, and intent. Building isn’t about just having a good idea, it’s about commitment to the vision, to the people beside you and to the future you say you want.
Shortcuts don’t pay off in the long run (unless you rug a memecoin like $LIBRA, s/o to that dork with the cutoff sweatshirt).
If you’re half in, you’re slowing it all down. That’s been a big takeaway from talking to founders the past two months on the show. They’re obsessed, and love what they do…and same with their teammates.
Seems like everyone we’ve interviewed had that common theme, felt like this was worth sharing. Cheers everyone and have a great weekend. 1 reply
