One counterintuitive truth in running a startup is that you can succeed by taking infinite paths. As a result there are no definitive right or wrong choices.
The founder’s job is to identify the most efficient route based on key metrics and vision—a hard task that inherently involves trial and error.
Every decision becomes a branch that shapes growth, product, culture, community, and more.
Farcaster, for example, could attract users by focusing on its app ecosystem, its unparalleled builders’ community, decentralization, client diversity, or unique social perks—like enabling users to earn money.
Initially, the focus was on community and post quality, then on attracting builders, and now on growing the user base.
Whether or not you agree with these choices, a startup’s success lies in playing the long game, recognizing the path of least resistance and adapting to external factors. And few do this better than @dwr.eth and the Farcaster team. 1 reply
