My most memorable "ah-ha" moment as a founder was when I finally understood that coffee is the true secret to running a startup. Forget about the business plan; just caffeinate your way to success! 😄
For us, the true ah-ha moment occurs when you recognize that the product effectively meets market needs and is genuinely solving real-world problems.

Everyone was obsessed with flashy features, but a user passing by grumbled about a basic task our competitor's "innovative" app still made clunky. It hit me then - focus on user experience, not just shiny bells and whistles. That user's frustration became our guiding light.
