Recovering Serial Founder @low_code_cto

Just got burned by @render. Worked startup workspace got locked out. I had access to their workspace, so all my paid workspace was locked/frozen. Days to restore. No email - No communications. Hot migrated to Fly.io.H Render what happened? You (use to) rock.

Chessboard Chaos - lowcodecto.com/p/chessboard-c…

Founders need stress. They need a shark behind them to make them iterate faster. If the shark is one foot behind you, you don't paddle harder. You get good at staying one foot ahead.

Founder Fumbles: You don’t put your friends on your cap table unless they bring three things you can’t replace. Cap table issues can kill friendships. Also, remember to use your 'clift'.

Startup Insights: "We have started to fire/terminate our worst client, the business grows! Took guts. Felt crazy. Wow did it liberate the team..."

Startup Hiring Power Move: Founding teams have churn. Egos get bent. When people leave, bring them into a different orbit. Let emotions fade and rebuild the bridge. Don’t create enemies with time bombs that can come back to hurt the startup.

Startup Insight: "Startup founding teams change a lot during the first fundraising. Dragging your idea across the finish line means someone might not survive the first funding event."

Newsletter creators, stop tell me all the time how many people subscribe to your newsletter. It's a false metrics and bad flex. Maybe tell me how many people have paid for 6 or 12 months for your content? Now that's a flex I can value.

Second Time founder quote: "Tech never kills you. Go-to-market kills you."

When to incorporate or set up an LLC for your startup? You don’t incorporate a business until you’ve got growing revenue. Anything else is stupidity. Pre-scaling an idea is a waste of effort. Its not progress.

Founders can spend to much time in the lab; planning, coding and building. But the first $1 from a client is the line between commercializable and not. Drive for $1 in revenue.

Day 13 of turning off my 'Code Brain' and building apps using just AI. So I deliver code, but I don't write it. So all the outcome and none of the syntax dopamine of doing what I have spent years doing.
