pov: software engineer building a startup - wow moment & *unconventional* lessons

i quit my job and build oonalab.ai full-time.
this weeks' episode is all about the tough lessons i learned for the past three month. to be a startup founder, you need to be optimistic, driven, and always expending your skillset as an entrepreneur. i had read a lot about being a founder, but man, there're things that you'll only learn when you're *in it*!
to give you a better idea, i'm breaking it down to 3 major unconventional lessons. one being my system and mindset around consistency. two, be very careful about your kpi. and three, it's a secret! watch the video and find out.
00:07 video briefing
01:29 unconventional system of consistency
04:59 coffee time
05:06 don't chase the wrong kpi
08:14 bonus: the wow
it really changed my outlook on my startup journey. interested?
let's go:)

how're you dealing with investors (if u have any) and customer discovery? i feel like balancing that and actual product dev can be super tough without teammates who can focus solely on one aspect of the product

[@dawchihliou]

what i find useful is to be hyper-focused on one problem at a time. measure everything and figure out the top priority to work on. this is how i think about investors and customer discovery as a solo founder. i'm only doing customer discovery at the moment so that i can find my pmf, knowing what to build, and get ready for outsized growth (that's when i'll start thinking about investors). does it help?
