The most significant obstacle I faced when starting my business was building trust—both from investors and from the aspiring entrepreneurs who would rely on NexFounder. When you're launching a platform that connects new entrepreneurs with established companies and investors, you’re essentially asking people to believe in a vision that doesn't yet exist. That was tough. People needed to see results before they were willing to commit, but to get results, I needed them to commit first. It was a classic catch-22. I overcame it by focusing on building strong personal relationships. I had one-on-one conversations, reached out to people individually—especially those who believed in the power of entrepreneurship. I pitched the concept, shared the long-term mission, and showed them how they could be part of something impactful. My first breakthrough came when I secured a meeting that led to a partner coming onboard. That gave NexFounder its first dose of credibility.
