Most startups don’t fail because the idea was bad. They fail because the wrong person was solving the right problem.😵 Let me explain. Everyone's obsessed with product-market fit. But barely anyone talks about the real deal: founder problem market fit. This is where you, the problem, and the timing all click like a perfectly made Maggi in 2 minutes (ok, 4 minutes, but let’s not fight). See, building a startup is like entering a boxing ring. If you’re going to get punched 10,000 times, its better be for a cause you deeply care about. Otherwise, you’ll quit, cry, or worse, become a LinkedIn philosopher. So here’s the truth: Don’t build something just because the market is big. Build something because: You can’t stop thinking about the problem. You’ve faced the pain yourself or watched someone suffer through it. You’re uniquely wired to solve it through your skills, background, or stubbornness. Startups are not college projects. You don’t get extra credit for picking something complex. You get credit for surviving the storm and making something people care about. And to survive, you need to give a damn👊 So before you launch your 7th “Uber for Dogs” or “AI for Astrologers” startup, pause and ask: Am I the best person on Earth to solve this? If yes, congrats you’ve unlocked Founder problem market fit : ) If not, maybe chill, sip chai, and wait for the idea that keeps you up at night. Because that one? That’s worth building.

At the heart of every great startup is a real-world problem begging for a solution. Don’t just build products — solve pain points. When you do that, product-market fit finds you.

Ever wondered why some founders attract investors easily while others struggle? It’s because of something called Founder-Market Fit. If someone tells you they’ll become the next Virat Kohli but they’ve never played serious cricket before, would you

People love to say build for your user. But most haven’t even *talked* to one. You don’t have product-market fit. You have product-founder delusion.

Every funding round tells a story.
 Not just of product-market fit, but of founder-market fit. 
Not just of capital raised, but conviction earned. Look closer and you’ll see the patterns: 1) AI startups aren’t raising because they’re AI. They’re ra

You don’t find Product-Market Fit. You chase it. You tweak. You pivot. You obsess over feedback. Know - PMF isn’t a milestone, it’s a moving target.

You’re NOT tired. You’re just undisciplined. Read that again. You're not overworked. You're under-focused. You're not stuck. You're just not executing. You’ve seen people with less resources than you WIN. You’ve seen people who started after you, p

If people really want something (strong product-market fit), they’ll tolerate mediocre UX.
