Not every founder wakes up motivated, sometimes you want to bury your head in the sand and hope problems vanish. Let’s talk openly about startup burnout, not just "hustle"

Unpopular opinion: AI-generated tweets are destroying authenticity on here. Tired of the sameness? Skip the bots, be human, and see what real engagement feels like.

The best networking happens without posts, DMs, or endless engagement. Imagine a platform that just matches you with the right people, no noise, no spam, no AI slop. Would you use it?

Here is what I did yesterday to grow my start-up: got out of bed at 11am. had food. got back to bed. watched some anime. had more food. got out of bed to stretch. had more food. watched some more stuff. went to sleep. Sometimes best productivity hack is to chill & do fuck all.

If I'm on your website and I can't easily find out what your product costs, please kindly do f*** off. JUST TELL ME THE DAMN PRICE. I don't have time to play sherlock to decide whether your product is in my budget or not.

What's worse: A founder who never launches because they're waiting for "perfect" or a founder who launches trash and calls it MVP? (I've been both btw)

Everyone says "validate your idea before building." Sure, great advice. But sometimes the best businesses come from people too stubborn to ask permission first. Netflix didn't survey Blockbuster customers :)

Every startup founder has that one feature they built because it was "cool" not because users asked for it. We've all got our own Google Wave moment :)

Most startups don't fail because they ran out of money. They fail because the founder ran out of reasons to keep going when nobody cared yet.

I've spent 100+ hours studying why startups fail (and the rare ones that don't) Here are 12 brutal truths about building a business that nobody wants to admit:

Started building Founderstree because I was sick of networking events where everyone's pitching and no one's listening. Spent 6 months talking to founders who all said the same thing: "I don't know who to ask for help." So we built a place where you actually can.

Real talk: would you rather have a $100M company you hate running, or a $5M company you'd run forever? Your answer reveals everything about why you're really building

Your startup doesn't have a 'culture problem.' You hired fast, fired slow, and called ping pong tables a benefit. Culture isn't a perk It's who you keep when they mess up

Everyone says 'follow your passion' when starting a company. They're absolutely right. Just know your passion will become spreadsheets, legal docs, and 3am customer service emails. Still passionate? Then you're ready.

The startup advice no one tells you: Stop trying to build the "perfect" product. Your first version should be so embarrassing that you cringe when you look back at it. If you're not embarrassed by your V1, you launched too late. Perfection is just procrastination with a fancy name. Ship the damn thing.

Met a founder yesterday who said 'I don't believe in work-life balance.' Bro, your wife just texted me asking if you're still alive. Balance isn't optional, it's survival.

Why do we romanticize founders sleeping 4 hours but judge employees who check email after 6pm? 🤔

Every founder who 'made it' has at least 3 failed projects they never talk about. Success is just failure with better PR and a Netflix doc.
