Y’all gotta give more grace to founders and their teams.

It’s NOT easy building a startup.

It’s NOT easy raising capital.

It’s NOT easy operating in beta.

It’s NOT easy keeping up with user demands.

It’s NOT easy finding PMF and continuing to iterate.

It’s NOT easy to become profitable.

If you understood how many startups we never even get a chance to hear about then you would realize that the few that make it to the press or wherever else are doing a lot better than you think.

Have patience.

It’s a privilege to even be able to experience some of these platforms and protocols as early as we do. And being early means that we have the opportunity to be able to shape these as they continue to grow.

Remember that.

This 100%. Not only is it hard to build a startup, but building on a new protocol as that protocol itself is an even harder level. And yet, the pace of development here on #nostr has been amazing (especially the last 8 months!). Very little genuine capital in the space, and yet we're seeing so much progress.

New business models will emerge, new ways of creating value, lower time preference, and a focus on the real will mean a different way products emerge. nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe alluded to much of this in the nest last night.

Have patience! #startups #grownostr nostr:npub19mduaf5569jx9xz555jcx3v06mvktvtpu0zgk47n4lcpjsz43zzqhj6vzk nostr:npub1tvqc82mv8cezhax5r34n4muc2c4pgjz8kaye2smj032nngg52clq0rkrq4
