Over the past few months, I had the privilege of participating in 3 startup incubators. The journey has been full of incredible insights. Here are my top 5 takeaways: 1️⃣ Experience Counts ⏳ The founders who really stood out to me—the ones I sought out for guidance—had one thing in common: they’ve either done this before or have been at it for a while. There’s no substitute for experience. 2️⃣ Trust Your Gut 🤝 The best advice I received (credit to Jeff Becker) was, ironically, “don’t take advice.” While it’s valuable to seek input from others, too much feedback can lead to analysis paralysis. In the end, you need to trust your instincts and make decisions that feel right to you. 3️⃣ Be Action-Oriented 💥 The best way to learn what works is to test, fail fast, and iterate. Quick failures lead to faster pivots and, ultimately, success. Don’t worry so much if the strategy isn’t perfect—the worst thing you can do is nothing! 4️⃣ Challenge Your Idea 💡 While delusion is necessary for any founder, ignorance is not. Try to disprove your idea. By actively trying to invalidate your concept, you’ll either identify critical flaws early or gain confidence in its viability. 5️⃣ Prioritize Your Well-Being 🧘♀️ Building a startup is a marathon, not a sprint. As an early-stage founder, you are the product. Neglecting your health leads to burnout and setbacks more often than you think.
