What’s the best advice you’ve ever received as a founder?
For me personally, it bothers me a lot when people try to teach others something that they didn't do themselves. It's like one blind person tries to teach other blind person to see. So the best advice is to learn from experience and it's been working for me so far. What's yours?

Great example of blind person trying to teach others how to see. Happens all the times when you are trying to do something risky.

This isn't advice from someone, but I read it and found it really insightful: "Don't spend years perfecting a product before launching. Get a MVP out quickly and improve it based on user feedback."

@shubham_pratap its a good one, do you apply it?

@viorica_vanica Yes, I try to! Early feedback from real users is very helpful. How about you?

Hello Founders: Amidst all the hurdles you'll face, remember not to shy away from seeking help. Lean on a trusted mentor who can offer valuable guidance and support through the challenges... We all need that push sometimes, and the right mentor can make a world of difference. :)

@sonu_goswami2 thanks for sharing Sonu, how do you find your mentors?

@viorica_vanica When life throws curveballs, it often brings along valuable blessings as well. I met my mentor at a time when I needed guidance the most. It’s not about seeking advice for every little thing, but about having the right support at the right time. :)

The market is constantly evolving, and what may seem like a great idea today might not be relevant tomorrow. So always be adaptive
