🧠 Smart Founders Avoid These

👋 Hi there - it’s Egemen. Thanks for reading Scalable.

Thinking about a founders gathering on Zoom so everybody gets to put a face behind the name. Reply to this email if you wanna join, planning for the end of Oct.

I read something along these lines the other day on LinkedIn:

“Not that many years ago, it was really hard and expensive to build something, but it was easy to find people willing to to use what you built. It’s the opposite now.”

Got me thinking - why is that the opposite now? Is it because there is a lack of talent? People working less? Technology not being any better? People stopped using products?

Success often depends on being in the right place at the right time. Although it may sounds counter-intuitive, a founder must know when to pull the plug on an idea.

Well, in today’s edition, we’re gonna have a deep-dive on how to avoid those.

Here’s a snapshot of what’s on the menu today:
