A few things you must know before doing a startup - straight from own experience

I’ve been through it all: failing with a twitter-like fanfiction platform, a peer-to-peer learning app whihc would help students earn from their expertise, and now building a SaaS startup, which is finally showing success! My biggest lessons for new/aspiring founders: 1. Progress over perfection: Don't obsess over getting everything right. Launching imperfectly beats waiting for perfection (that never comes) EVERY SINGLE TIME, if you're ready to pivot or iterate based on user feedback 🤌 2. Talk to users ASAP: The moment your MVP is ready - or close to getting ready - start talking to potential users and gather feedback on the product. Real insights come from real users, not assumptions. 3. Ideas evolve: Your first idea might not work, and that's absolutely ok. Every attempt at taking the product to users will refine your understanding of real problems, required solutions and what you can do for the same. And so even if your initial idea doesn't succeed, if you keep on going and iterating/pivoting, that same idea will lead you the idea that wil eventually succeed 💡 Fall in love with solving problems and creating lots of value for the users, dont fall in love with the initial idea.
