3 Ideas
I.
Ideal founding team is usually two people of two different types. An inventor, and an entrepreneur.
Inventorâs job is to build a product that is 10x better than any other product thatâs been built in the space.
Entrepreneurâs job is to take the 10x product to market.
II.
âAaah donât get too close to the sun, it will melt your wings.â
Most of us are turning back when itâs 20 degrees Celsius. Where do we get the arrogance to think itâs actually getting hot? Weâre not even close. Not even close. You didnât make it nearly as far as you thought you could go.
Embrace your Icarus.
III.
