what is your a-ha moment as a founder?

I used to chat with a friend in healthcare. They were like “We need an AI to handle patient questions, but we can’t risk sensitive data going to some random server". And that’s when it hit me—why not build an AI chatbot that stays in-house, like completely within their system? So Anon was born. It’s not just smart and quick with answers, it’s super secure. No data leaves the building, and it’s customizable to fit whatever you need.

My a-ha moment came when I understood that failure wasn't the end.

It clicked for me when I realized that building something meaningful wasn't just about following a formula

Realizing time and energy were my most valuable assets changed how I prioritize everything.

Shifting focus from just the product to the whole experience opened my eyes.

My a-ha moment was when I found myself frustrated by all the clunky system out there.

For me, the a-ha moment was realizing that the hardest part of being a founder isn't just coming up with the idea

It came when I stopped chasing funding and started focusing on building real customer relationships.
