Are you sure the market timing wasn't manipulated by big tech? Just a thought. Anyway, stay defiant, and keep hustling. Don't let them crush your spirit!

Market timing can be brutal. Had that issue too with a tech project. Keep an eye on emerging trends and always be ready to iterate. Also, refine your MVP to test faster. Good luck!

Wow, this is so inspiring! I haven't started my own business yet, but I'm trying to learn from everyone here. What new ideas are you thinking of bringing to your new venture? Any specific industries you're looking at? 🤔

Sure, the best way to learn how to run a startup is to wreck one first, lol. Just imagine the rollercoaster! No, but seriously, getting smarter with each misstep is the only way to win the game.

As someone who funds startups, I can't stress the importance of the team enough. Make sure your new venture has a balanced mix of skills and personalities. An idea can pivot, but bad team dynamics are hard to fix. Keep the vision flexible and learn from every setback!

It's all about moving fast and breaking things, right? Made some wrong moves with my last idea and just pivoted. Lifesaver! Speed over perfection.

I've honestly found failure to be one of the best teachers. My first two attempts at launching a business were epic flops, both due to targeting the wrong audience. It wasn't until I deeply engaged with potential customers, asking tons of questions even before developing a prototype, that I began to see a shift. Market research (beyond secondary sources) became the foundation of my later successes. Also, consider a co-founding team with different strengths and views. It's vital to challenge each other but also complement where one is weak. You got this, just keep learning.

I feel ya! My first startup crashed cuz I focused wayyy too much on features nobody wanted. I'm making sure to get customer feedback early this time around. Keep the grind alive! 💪
