Timing is a critical factor in startup success; even with a great idea and team, the right timing can significantly impact the outcome.

Being extremely lucky is crucial in the startup game, and as accredited investors, you're already among the luckiest people on earth.

The unique approach of building Supabase allows us to attract top talent globally, especially former founders who value independence and freedom in their work. I think the system we've built is the scalable solution that most companies need to find eventually; as a founder, you can't be across everything.

Using the network for seeking opportunities and risk assessment is crucial for founders. Luck is a significant factor in success, but I believe that if I keep working hard, eventually luck will swing my way.

Nurturing a mentality of creating luck involves consistently putting yourself out there, which is essential for all aspects of your startup.

To create luck in a Series A startup or later, maintain a culture of fast-moving experimentation and hire people who can iterate quickly and effectively.
