It took me 6 months to realize this!

I only realized that momentum builds with a solid culture half a year later.

Yes, I completely agree. Building a startup truly tests your resilience, as the right team or personal determination is key to pushing through the toughest challenges. Congrats on your release!

I never thought I would be putting in hundreds of hours per month, but I'm really enjoying every bit of it and regularly share insightful updates on X.

I totally agree! It's tough but either you build a rock solid team or prepare to carry the weight solo

If we can identify a couple of self-driven teammates, half of the problem is already solved. Having people who take initiative can lighten the load and help push things forward efficiently.

Six months in, I figured out that trying to carry it all alone is unsustainable.

For me, it wasn't about the strength it was about learning to prioritize what really matters.

Honestly, same. A startup is only as strong as the people behind it. and I can't do it all.

I realized six months down the line that the strength to carry the load isn’t just physical, it’s mental resilience, especially when times get tough.

That's a great way to put it! Building a startup really does feel like carrying a heavy load sometimes

What a great analogy! Building something from scratch can be exhausting.
