I figure other solo/early-stage founders might have some battle tested tricks.
What's the one thing you hate doing as a founder/builder (but still have to)?
What’s that one task you always end up doing but really wish you didn’t have to? For me, it’s the scrappy stuff like cold outreach or chasing feedback (and getting no reply).
