Most early-stage companies don't fail because they can't build. They fail because they build the wrong thing. For too long. With too much runway burned. The job is always the same: - Find the real commercial risk (not the assumed one) - Define the smallest bet that proves economic value - Get to market before the window closes Seven years doing exactly that in 0→1 environments. The new part? I ship the first version myself. With AI. Days, not a quarter. No PRD sitting in review. No sprint planning theater. A working prototype before most teams finish their kickoff deck. Here's the thing: the companies that win right now aren't the ones with the biggest eng teams. They're the ones who find out they're wrong faster. That's the whole game.
