The Founders' Hub
Knowledge for every step of the founder's journey
Building a startup means making a series of decisions that are high-stakes, time-pressured, and often irreversible - usually without much experience to draw on. The Founders' Hub is built around the 10 key moments in a founder's journey.
You won't always face them in order, and you certainly won't face them all at once, so we've made it easy to go straight to the area you're wrestling with right now. Each section cuts through the noise with honest, practical thinking written by founders who've been in your shoes.
The ten key decision points for a founder
- Is this idea worth pursuing?
- Will anyone actually pay for this?
- What do I build first?
- Who do I need to build this with?
- How do I know when I'm ready to launch?
- How do I get my first users?
- Is it working - and how do I know?
- Should I raise money?
- How do I scale without breaking things?
- Do I sell, stay, or step back?
