I had a crazy conversation with a friend who wants to start building startups too, his name is @csonotes and before this he was always a freelancer

The problem he had was he thought every idea he had was not big enough or did not have "product founder fit"

With that he meant he wanted to build a product that fit close to himself as a personality and he gave me as an example of someone with great "product founder fit"

I asked him do you really think I always had a burning passion for interior design and that's why I did Interior AI? Or I have always wanted to enter the model photography industry with Photo AI? Or I'm very very passionate about jobs which is why I have Remote OK? 

Nomad List might be the only exception where I acutally do have "product founder fit"

I told him I think it's a highly overrated concept because I had no idea what businesses I would be running when I started and still don't know what I will be running in the next few years, because it's impossible to plan what business you will build. The market changes so fast and most things you do fail. So it's more like surfing waves and the market CHOOSING YOU to do something, not you choosing what to do. You try smell and follow the customer demand, and only then you can have a viable business...for a while, until it ends and the demand goes elsewhere

Elon Musk started by digitizing the Yellow Pages phone book as a startup, now he's building rockets to Mars, sure he has great "product founder fit" now but that's a bit of a big thing to ask for when you're just starting out as a entrepreneur doing your first thing.

Regarding "nothing being big enough for him" (lol btw), you almost always start small, but small things can grow big (lol): Facebook started as an online year book and now it's a bleeding edge VR tech consortium of social media apps. Only if you have millions/billions to burn like again Elon did later in his career, you can start building things more fundamentally from principles where you want humanity to go. Even then it's crazy hard to get that demand, see how Bezos' space startup is doing compared (and he also has the billions to burn!), it's just hard (lollllll).

So yeah IMHO: 
1) ignore this "omg it's not big enough" idea, just ship a small thing, 
2) if customer demand, or no customer demand, your ship is now in the ocean and you'll start sailing and see where you end up, things start happening cause you took action and made something (and hopefully launched it, talked about it), 
3) "product founder fit" is mostly a myth, nobody does exactly what they want to do, and you can't just CONTROL the market like a god to make exactly the business YOU want, you can at maximum steer the ship a little bit, but the waves/wind (aka the market) are 100000x more powerful than you and they'll bring you somewhere else you don't expect to end up!

⛵️ Enjoy sailing the stormy oceans of entrepreneurship!

If you're building a startup that a lot of people misunderstand but you hold a deep insight that seems like it will obviously come true, you should be really optimistic. That is the best possible scenario for your company—you know something people don't know and is unpopular.

The REAL truth about bootstrapping vs venture-backed startups:

When you raise venture and you’re the CEO, you’re still making $100k+ no-matter what. Realistically more. You know how long you'll be getting that cash for even if VCs decide not to fund you anymore (usually 12-18months). 

You've got baseline stress because you want to build something big. 

When you are bootstrapping and you are profitable, it's way less stress than running a venture-backed startup. You’ll taste real freedom and probably take home $500K+/year through dividends. 

When you are bootstrapping and unprofitable, it's way more stressful. Everything is on your shoulders. You're looking at creative financing like lines of credit and growth hacks to get you to profitability like your life depends on it.

Your stress levels go down the more profits you make.

I've got tons respect for both type of founders, but bootstrappers you earn an extra tip of my hat.

Friend of mine works at a midmarket PE portco. Company isn’t distressed, but it’s struggled to grow earnings. Weak exec team.

Board hires a new CEO. Guy is a badass.

Within a month, the CEO fires the COO, the CFO, the HR leader, the general counsel, and the controller.

He doesn’t have replacements lined up. He would just rather have no leadership team than a weak leadership team. He’s got all the VPs and directors reporting directly to him until he decides what the reorganized executive team is going to look like and he finds the right people to fill those roles.

In this economy, if you’re not exceeding expectations and delivering strong results, don’t think for a second that you have the slightest bit of job security.

Especially if you work for a highly leveraged PE portco or a VC portco that raised money at inflated Covid-era valuations.

The two biggest biases you’ll run into when doing a startup are from people that know *too* much:

1. This problem is already solved and doesn’t need a new solution 

2. Every time this problem has been attempted to be solved it never works

Sometimes you just need fresh eyes.

Extracting significant value (in non ZIRP times) from your startup requires more than building a company that startup investors are willing to fund.  It requires building a company that either public market investors are willing to invest in (IPO) or that a public company is willing the purchase (exit).  Turns out the bar is higher and the path is longer than most will tell you.  Also, in almost all cases a founder CEO will have to walk that long and hard path.  Strap in!

Too many people playing small.

They’re playing not to lose.

Yourself as well.

But not the founders of KKR ($500B AUM); Henry Kravis & George Roberts, the tycoons of private equity.

Listen this:

They were also uncertain and insecure when entering into deals with which they had no prior experience. Size wise. Experience wise.

They did it anyway.

The difference between you, me and them? No matter how much uncertainty they had – they did it anyway.

Today, years later, this is the headquarters of KKR in NYC, not sure how many floors they have under contract but it is huge.

Lesson here:

“Everybody is just making it up as they go anyway.”

Take 95% of successful people and their interviews about their journeys, most of them said there were so many times of uncertainty:

- Lack of funding
- Blocked credit cards
- Bank account frozen
- Loss of key customers
- Lack of product market fit
- Multiple failed businesses
- Losing 90% of the revenue
- Betrayal from a business partner for six fig
- Exceptional deals failed on the last moment

No matter what happened.

They did it anyway.

And some even look very confident while doing it.

But deep down they too have many questions, fears and doubts.

If only you knew all this about these super successful folks.

Take a scenario where Mr. Kravis and Roberts invite you to dinner upstairs in their office.

Put a hand on your shoulder and say:

"You know Mikk, John, Steve, whatever your name is, I was insecure AF too, and I still very much am ahead of every very large transaction."

Knowing this: Would you still be playing small?

Would you be playing not to lose?

Probably not. So don't be the one who does. And if you’re still scared, and your head is full of doubts.

“Everybody is just making it up as they go anyway.”

The first product I ever developed was this little silicone nail polish holder ring called Polish Pal like 10 years ago now.

Got a patent on it, got a few retail vendor agreements, over seas manufacturers replicated tf out of it and a big US company pretty much strong armed me out of selling it until all my buyers pulled out…

But that’s totally beside the point.

The point is the first people that bought any of my product when it launched weren’t my closest friends or my family.

They were friends of friends, girls in my sorority, acquaintances and people I knew from social media. 

I still remember every single person that bought one on the first day it launched. 

I still interact with most of them to this day and every once in a while I will get a DM’d picture of them using my product. 

All this to say, sometimes your biggest and earliest supporters aren’t the people closest to you, but the people one or two degrees away…

The ones who want so badly to see you succeed and who believe in you. Who buy the first and shittiest iterations of things, who sign up for stuff that’s unpolished, who comment on or retweet your content when you have 0 followers.

Cherish and remember THOSE people. They were the ones that believed in you before it was cool to believe in you.

As a startup founder, don’t just ask: “what do people want?”

People want a lot of things - more money, better health, sleep, love, and so on.

Rather ask: “is there a specific inefficiency that I can solve for that’s preventing people from getting what they want?”

One of the hardest things to face as a founder is moderate success… 

… being able to hit a couple of million in revenue is really hard, and when you hit it and then have modest growth you’re trapped in the “in between” space. 

This requires bold action:  deprecating the modestly successful business line so you can focus on a potential breakout product.

It means you had the guts to try something, which means you're "a person who has the guts to try hard things,” which bodes well for the rest of your life.

The % odds of raising money for non-SV founders would go way up, if founders pitched “returns” to their investors instead of an “exit.”

Only 1% of founders can successfully make it to an exit, so the odds of raising money in order to do that are also ≈1%.

The odds of a technical founder getting to profitability and then significant cash flow from a compounding software business is much greater than finding an exit for it. At least 10%, but more likely 20-30%. Maybe even 50%.

In 20-30 years, the company may be dead. But meanwhile, it generates tens of millions in profit. (And my guess is it won’t be dead.)
