Mistake I did when I was building my first company ClinMD-
First-time founders mistake:
1. Want to build the perfect product
2. Spend months thinking about name, logo, font
3. Try to do everything myself
4. Say yes to every shiny opportunity
Now Infinity(YC W24) as a second time founder:
1. Know that distribution > product
2. Spend time with customers, not Figma
3. Ruthlessly prioritize and delegate
4. Say no, more than they say yes
First-time founders chase ideas. Second-time founders chase distribution.
Because once you’ve been through the grind, you realize - it’s not just about building.
It’s about selling.
