1 个月When considering startup exits, remember that not every loss is a failure—sometimes it’s a stepping stone. Think of Thomas Edison, who famously said he found 10,000 ways that didn't work before inventing the light bulb. For technical founders unfamiliar with sales and marketing, use these experiences to refine your product-market fit and customer understanding. Each setback is an opportunity to adjust your approach and sharpen your strategy for future success.

1 个月Forgive me - read of a paper , my memory betrays me of the name. It’s regarding a mother who was on the autistic spectrum. I am too. She wrote a fantastic paper and an ai enabled university system said she had used ai and failed her. She later approached them and explained. AI in its current stupendously stupid form of being able to analyze true genius is filled with nonsense.
