    1/ The first 18 months of a startup: After starting my 2nd company in 2019, I decided I would write down useful lessons I learned or re-learned along the way. Some were hard-earned & others required steady focus. A thread that I hope may help other founders starting out 👇

        I’m really not a big fan of 7 page essays to convey a startup vision. Either as an author or an audience. Unless long-form copywriting is a key differentiator or something that mitigates a key risk to the biz, I suppose.

        He didn't do it to convey the vision, but to work it out. As far as I know this essay was never published.

        Whenever I see these threads, I always think: "How could I do this as a parent of young children?" Have there been founders in such a situation?

        You have to invest in a startup yourself, especially time. If you don't have time, you may be able to invest other things (like money...). You can also just accept things will take longer (same as if you decided to raise less funding)

        It is interesting that best advices about startups and journey comes from a set of founders chosen by former set of founders. Most interesting part is I always find YC founders give actionable advices. (Was reading The Mom Test. It is focused on the same theme: talk to users)
