Startup founder survival guide

- Coffee is now your blood type - "MVP" = Barely functional garbage - Your mom doesn't count as a user - VC money is just spicy allowance - "Networking" is corporate speak for awkward small talk - Sleep is for the weak (and employed) - Ramen profitability = You can afford the fancy instant noodles

In the early days it's all about being scrappy and doing whatever it takes to survive. Hire slowly, spend wisely, and always be hustling for your next customer or investor. Don't get distracted by hype, just focus maniacally on building something people want. And take care of yourself - burnout is real. Make sure to unplug sometimes, exercise, eat well, and lean on other founders for support when things get tough. It's a marathon, not a sprint!
