I learned a lot from my first startup, especially about what not to do, like playing startup without having product-market fit.

As a startup founder, I must focus on my customers first and understand the problems they care about, ensuring I stay laser-focused on providing solutions.

I learned that without customer feedback, I had no idea what to build, which was a critical lesson I missed in my previous startup.

I never found product-market fit with my first startup, which made it a painful experience, but it was invaluable for my education.

In the early days, we struggled to raise money, which taught us to focus on solving real problems and to build an efficient, profitable business from day one.

I faced significant challenges during my first company, including being fired, which taught me the harsh realities of entrepreneurship.

After quitting my corporate job due to lack of learning, I joined a startup where I learned valuable lessons about what not to do in business.

As a startup grows, the focus shifts from just acquiring users to ensuring sustainable growth and revenue. We learned the hard way that even if users love our product, we must also pay attention to our overall growth metrics to avoid becoming a beloved startup that fails due to lack of financial viability.

I learned the importance of networking and building relationships, which helped me transition from selling carpets to investing in startups.
