Overheard at a Chapter Meeting: A founder shared what they wished they knew in the early startup stage. A few people took notes, a few people shook their heads in agreement. Which one are you?
She shared that the website mattered less than she thought.
The so-called perfect offer changed three times.
And that it turned out that most of the opportunities that moved the business forward came from conversations, introductions, and being in the right rooms with the right person.
Startups can feel lonely because everything feels high stakes.
But hearing from people further down the road has a way of helping you stop overcomplicating the next step.
Remember: you don’t need to know everything, you just need to keep moving!
