"If it wasnโt for this one idea, I wouldโve been perfectly happy working at Google or Microsoft." Thatโs how deep Vlad Magdalinโs conviction ran when he built Webflow โ now a $4B+ company empowering 200,000+ customers. Just watched his story, and itโs packed with lessons for any founder or builder. A few takeaways that stood out: -(00:00) Doubt is inevitable, especially when giants like Adobe have failed before you. But conviction is what carries you. - (03:00) Webflow was inspired by the magic of 3D animation tools, he wanted the same for web design. - (05:28) It took four failed attempts before Webflow finally took off. - (07:09) A trademark certificate arriving by accident reignited the journey. - (10:42) Kickstarter rejection pushed them to YC, where the real momentum began. - (12:49) Developers loved it not because it replaced them, but because it empowered their designer partners. - (14:28) Customer obsession + a strong team = Webflowโs true unfair advantage. - (19:14) Yes, you can build a startup while having kids, and create a company culture that values sustainability along the way. Truly one of the most inspiring founder journeys Iโve come across. ๐ฅ Watch the full story here..
