So much content around becoming a founder but really struggling to get started over the last few months. For those who’ve done it, what did you do to get going?

Wow so many amazing answers. Just goes to show how great the Warpcast community is. I’d never get a response like this anywhere else. Thank you all! Seems like the core answer is (1) just start and (2) find founder friends.

Simplest answer though is: 1. Learn about something that sucks by talking to people w problems 2. Make the shittiest possible solution for that thing 3. See if people will pay for it If not, make it better based on user feedback or find a new problem. Repeat. You’ll always be stuck at one of these steps 🫡

This is going to seem silly but listen to podcasts: - Acquired - how I built this - my first million Also Read biographies of founders For me anywho this is type of thing is inspiring. Not a silver bullet but an easy thing that keeps you going

My motivation changed w each of my startup iterations. 1st - I was only obsessed w learning and that carried me through 2 years of my first startup 2nd - I got obsessed with a problem (18 months) 3rd - Hit a painful wall (6 weeks) Now - Found a user I’m obsessed with/am part of the user base (Creators 8+ months)

The most useful thing is to surround yourself with other founders. Ideally people who are 1-2 steps ahead of you. Sharing the experience is essential because being a founder is a long and non linear journey. It’s nice to have people around you who get what you’re going through.

Managing mental stress and self doubt and financial pressures for long enough to get meaningfully deep into a problem or niche is one of the hardest dimensions in concrete terms. Finding a worthwhile problem is also right up there. How you enter repents a lot on your context, resources, and moral direction of travel.
