May be controversial: The most important goal for a founder in the early days should not be 'building a great company' As founders with limited resources (capital, technology, and employees), our primary focus should be on laying a strong foundation. Contrary to popular belief, at this stage, our goal isn't achieving excellence; instead, it's about ensuring the essentials are in place to sustain our progress with one overarching aim: survival In early stages of building a startup, survival is not just a matter of staying afloat, but also about weathering storms, adapting to market dynamics, and ensuring that every decision contributes to our resilience. There is no scope for getting a lavish office to show off to employees/clients, spending a hell lot more on the UI than solving core backend problems, and getting expensive talent onboard, that might turn out expensive mistakes By prioritizing survival now, we pave the way for sustainable growth and meaningful impact in the future
