They start as small, useful tools. But as founders go deeper, they often realize theyโre solving a much bigger problem. For the Collisons, Stripe started as a โnice tool for developers.โ But soon, they saw the real problemโโthe whole edifice is brokenโ in online payments. That shift changed everything. They dropped out, raised money from Sam Altman, Peter Thiel, Sequoia, and Elon Muskโand Stripe became a payments giant. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ผ๐ป? Your startup idea doesnโt need to feel huge on Day 1. Solve a real problem. Keep digging. You might discover a much bigger opportunity than you ever imagined. Follow Vishu Bheda for more such valuable startup insights from the world's best founders!
