DO NOT build a startup.
Seriously. Don't.
Unless you enjoy sleep deprivation, eating investor rejections for breakfast, and explaining to your family why you're still broke after "launching something big."
Don't build a startup if your idea came to you in the shower and you haven't talked to a single user.
Don't build a startup because TechCrunch made it look cool.
Don't build a startup because your friend raised $3M and now you think you should too. Spoiler: they'll still raise more, burn it faster, and crash harder.
Building a startup means watching everything break product, team, confidence, and still showing up the next day.
It means hiring people who are smarter than you, then wondering why they don't listen to you.
It means customers ghosting you, investors grilling you, and competitors copying you all at once.
And if all that sounds fun to you?
Then maybe, just maybe, you should build a startup.
But please, do it because you have to. Because the problem keeps you up at night.
Not because you want to be "a founder" on LinkedIn.
This isn't a flex. It's a war zone.
Good luck out there.
