🚀 I almost built the wrong startup. That's why I ended up building FounderMind AI.
Like many founders, I thought the hardest part of building a startup would be writing the code.
It wasn't.
The hardest part was figuring out whether I was solving a real problem.
A few months ago I caught myself spending days improving features that nobody had actually requested.
The product looked better every week.
The business wasn't.
That forced me to change how I build.
Instead of asking:
❌ "What should I build next?"
I started asking:
✅ "What evidence do I have that this should exist?"
That simple shift completely changed my workflow.
It also became the reason I started building FounderMind AI.
Rather than generating another business idea, I wanted something that could challenge my assumptions, surface risks, and force me to think before writing another line of code.
I'm still improving it every week, and the community feedback has already changed several parts of the product.
If anyone would like to try it or share feedback:

💬 I'm curious about something.
Before building your current product...
What assumption did you believe that later turned out to be completely wrong?
Sometimes the biggest lesson isn't a technical one—it's realizing we've been solving the wrong problem all along.
I'd genuinely love to hear those stories.
