Founders often have no idea where their first users will come from, which is a critical oversight when choosing a problem to solve.

First-time founders often make the mistake of solving problems they don't care about, which can lead to a loss of motivation and ultimately failure.

The most common mistake founders make is building something that doesn't solve a real problem for users, often resulting in a solution in search of a problem.

Founders often get distracted by coding and overbuilding instead of focusing on understanding the core problems their users face.

Young founders often prioritize what investors want over solving problems they genuinely care about, which can hinder their potential.

Sometimes competitors have objectively better products, which can lead to founders losing users to those alternatives.

It's crucial to understand how hard it is to create something that people actually want. Many founders mistakenly believe they have extra resources to innovate on unrelated aspects, which complicates their efforts.

If the founders aren't building the product, they might miss critical insights that could shape its evolution.

Founders should prioritize solving real customer problems and adhere to best practices instead of pursuing unnecessary innovations that have a low likelihood of success.
