What's stopping you from becoming a first-time founder?

- Marketing & gaining traction! Difficult for pure tech people - For Non-Tech folks, it might be not knowing right engineers or understanding complexity of their technology and what can be done - Life in general, foundership needs support and some risk, not everyone might be in the same state in life!

For long time I was blocked by fear of financial instability. Now, when I've build my own emergency fund and a little bit of wealth to keep engine running I'm ready to dive into founding.

Not anymore, because I became a founder. Before, I thought I didn’t know enough, and that my product just wouldn’t be needed by anyone.

Launching is also a big challenge, especially getting that initial user traction. Even with great tech, you need to figure out marketing, messaging, partnerships etc. to get the flywheel spinning. It's definitely a whole other skill set beyond just building something cool!
