I’ve had days where it felt like nothing was moving.
No big wins. 
No breakthroughs.

But here’s the truth founders hate admitting:
The days that look quiet are often the ones that compound the most.

What kept me moving wasn’t some dramatic reinvention.
It was the small, almost boring actions done consistently.

So today, don’t go hunting for the perfect plan.
Pick one small move and execute it.

Momentum isn’t magic, but it’s built.

Peter Korbel

Most startups fail for a reason no one wants to admit.

The co-founder relationship!

Everyone obsesses over the idea.

But here’s what actually breaks most startups.

The founders don’t really know each other.

I see it all the time.

Two people meet for the first time, think they “vibe,”
and decide to start a company together.

The only thing holding them together is the startup itself.

And that works fine,
until the moment all startups eventually hit:

The moment it looks doomed.
Worthless. Hopeless.

The point where it feels easier to walk away than to keep going.

And if the relationship isn’t real,
if there’s no trust, no shared history, no real connection
then the partnership collapses right there.

They quit. They split.
They move on.

But founders who have known each other for years,
built things together,
seen each other under pressure . . .

They don’t walk away.
They keep going, even when it feels pointless.

And funny enough,
that “misplaced loyalty” often saves the company.
Because what looked doomed wasn’t actually doomed.
It was just a rough chapter.

A strong co-founder relationship outlasts the hard days.
And the hard days are the ones that matter.

So before you choose your co-founder, ask yourself:

Are we building a company together,
or are we just building a moment?

Startup Strategist | Founder | One Exit | Angel

Some startups explode while others stall.

The trick is surprisingly simple:

Anti-trend.

Most people chase what’s trending.

It feels safe.

Everyone is running in the same direction.

But when everyone copies the same playbook,
everything starts to look identical.

That’s where real opportunity opens up.

Sometimes the smartest move is choosing the opposite.

If people want louder, make it quieter.

If everyone builds bigger, try smaller.

If the whole market speeds up, go slow.

Anti-trend ideas work because they give people what’s missing.

Stability. Simplicity.
A breather.

Look around your niche.

Notice what everyone is doing.

Then flip the pattern.

The next breakout idea might not be “the next big trend.”

It might be the thing that moves against it.

What’s the opposite move in your space?

 Opportunity Is in the Opposite

Think you need funding to scale?

Try this instead:

Turn creators into your new growth engine.

Building is easy now.

A few AI tools can do what teams and millions once did.

The real struggle is getting noticed.

And that’s exactly what creators solve.

Give them ownership, not payment.
And now they care like a founder.

One real mention = months of paid ads.
No VC pressure.
Traction from day one.

Take a look at Stanley.

They didn’t blow millions on marketing.
They built a movement through the community.

Viral posts turned their tumbler into a status symbol.
Each creator mentioned became free distribution.

That’s the new model.

Creators aren’t just promoters. They’re partners.

You keep building.
They bring culture and audience.

The result:

You grow faster.
You scale smarter.
You disrupt before others even notice.

In this game, influence is your real investor.

Because attention moves faster than money.

Influence is the Investor

Why do some problems keep repeating?

They’re pointing you toward:

Opportunity!

Most people chase ideas that sound exciting.

You don’t need excitement.

You need evidence.

Real ideas live in the moments when you think,
“Why is this still so complicated?”

That’s the signal most people skip.

Because the best startup ideas rarely appear shiny.
They show up as small frustrations you face again and again.

A slow workflow.
A tool that never does what you need.
A messy process everyone secretly hates.

Start where the friction is loud.
Start where the annoyance is real.
Start where you feel it yourself.

Because if it irritates you daily,
it probably irritates thousands of others too.

And that’s the place worth building from.

 Broken Markets    Build Winners

Think starting a business is about ideas?

It is actually about:

How much uncertainty you can survive.

Starting a business off the ground feels simple on paper.

In reality, it is months or years of slow progress.

You keep building while asking yourself, 
Is this ever going to work?

That is the real price of freedom.
You pay it with fear.
And you pay it over time.

Fear when you hire your first employee.
Fear when you land your first customer.
Fear when people judge or underestimate what you are building.

The founders who win are the ones who can sit with uncertainty the longest.

They keep moving when nothing is guaranteed.
They build while scared.
They show up anyway.

If you can hold the fear, you give your business room to become something real.

Founders skip updates all the time.

Here’s why it’s a mistake:

Investors notice!

Teams feel the gaps.

Alignment slips quietly.

A consistent monthly update fixes that fast.

The best updates follow a simple, 
structured format:

1️⃣ Highlights
Celebrate wins first.
What moved the needle this month?
New customers, product breakthroughs,
or key milestones.
Set the tone with clear achievements.

2️⃣ Lowlights
Acknowledge what didn’t go as planned.
Transparency builds trust.
Call out the challenges without defensiveness.
It shows you’re in control, not hiding issues.

3️⃣ Key Metrics
Numbers give clarity.
Cash balance, runway, MRR, and total customers.
Month-over-month growth adds crucial context.
Metrics are the real scoreboard of the company.

4️⃣ Help & Requests
Ask for the support needed.
Intros, advice, or resources. Specificity matters.
Investors can only help when you tell them how.
Clarity here creates actionable collaboration.

Structured updates save time, 
build trust, and accelerate growth.

Which section could transform your investor updates today?

The Perfect Investor Update

Startup Anatomy // Newsletter Edition 6

A founder who built a SaaS, scaled it to $55K a month, and sold it in just two years.

Arvid Kahl

No funding. No team.
No Silicon Valley story arc.

Just a real problem, a tiny niche, and the courage to build fast.

In 2017, Arvid Kahl watched his partner Danielle spend hours writing repetitive student feedback after every online class.

Same structure, same details, same pain.

So they built a tool for it.
A simple web app called FeedbackPanda.

Teachers loved it.
Communities spread it.
MRR climbed to $55K/month.
Two years later, they sold it and bought their freedom.

Arvid didn’t disappear after the exit.

He turned his lessons into The Bootstrapped Founder, wrote Zero to Sold, built Podscan, and kept teaching founders what most playbooks ignore:

You don’t need to build big to build well.

Arvid reminds us that focus is a superpower.

You can build lean, stay small, and still create something life-changing.

You can work quietly and still build a business loud enough to change your future.

That’s the story I unpack in this week’s edition of Startup Anatomy.

How a bootstrapped founder turned a tiny pain point into financial freedom — and why writing in public might be the most underrated growth engine on the internet.

Investors often test your conviction.

They ask: 

Can you survive a big player?

Most founders freeze when a giant enters their space.

It feels impossible to compete.

Yet some startups still thrive despite the giants.

How? 

They focus on what big competitors won’t touch.

And they prove their startup isn’t a blind bet.

Here’s the strategy: 

✅ Acknowledge The Reality:
Yes, big companies have massive resources.
Yes, if they wanted to, they could copy you.
But that doesn’t mean they will.

✅ Show Why It’s Unlikely:
Big companies only pursue massive markets.
If your audience is small or niche, 
you’re invisible to them.
Explain this clearly.

✅ Highlight Their Focus:
Big companies rarely build outside their core strengths.
They stick to what they know.
You stick to what you do best.

✅ Identify Proven Patterns:
Notice how big companies handle gaps in their products.
They often partner, license, 
or adopt instead of building themselves.

If you move fast and execute well,
you can become the obvious solution they rely on.

Worrying about big players is natural.

But showing logic and strategy builds investor confidence.

Are you ready to turn competition into opportunity?

Outsmart The Titans

How do top founders stay resilient?

The secret is . . .

Operating in two modes!

Building a startup means living in two worlds at once.

You’re patching what broke this morning.
You’re designing what could change your whole category.

You’re reviewing a contract that’s due in an hour.
You’re outlining a roadmap that might take three years.

You’re sending late-night emails to keep things moving.
You’re sketching a product that only exists in your head.

It’s chaotic.

It’s unglamorous.

It feels like you’re switching gears every five minutes.

But that’s the real work.

The best founders don’t chase perfect plans.

They move cleanly between now and next.

They zoom in when something needs them.

They zoom out when direction matters.

They shift modes without losing pace.

Scrappy today.
Audacious tomorrow.
Always both.

Because resilience isn’t just endurance.
It’s knowing which mode to be in, and when.

Which mode are you in right now?

Two Timelines, One Goal

Do you need to nail the idea first?

No! 

Ideas don’t start perfectly.

They evolve.

Most people stall.

They think an idea must be airtight.

But that’s not how real ideas work.

The first version is just a draft.

Not the final design.

The real shape is discovered when it collides with users.

When someone tries it.
Questions it. 
Misuses it.

Pushes it in a direction you never planned.

And that’s when the idea changes. 

Every great product looked different at the beginning.

None of them started polished.

Builders don’t chase “the perfect version.”

They chase the next version.

Small tests. 
Tiny adjustments.
Fast feedback loops.

That’s the real competitive advantage.

Because while everyone else debates, 
you’re learning from real signals.

And every signal pulls your idea forward.

So if your idea feels messy or incomplete right now,
that’s good. That means it’s alive.

The only real mistake is waiting for the perfect moment.

That moment never comes.

What tiny step can you launch today?

Evolving Ideas Win

How do early founders land big-name investors?

They follow one simple rule:

Find the rooms where capital already flows.

Most founders look everywhere.

But rarely in the spots that actually move fast.

The twist?

There are three channels that quietly work.

1️⃣ Twitter

Investors think out loud there.
You see what excites them in real time.
Reply. Engage. Send short DMs.
Simple messages start real conversations.

2️⃣ Other Founders

Skip random outreach.
Talk to builders in your space.
They know who’s active right now.
Their notes beat any list you could scrape.

3️⃣ Sector Signals

Watch launches in your industry.
Partnerships, hires, 
and updates reveal who’s moving money.
Reach out with clarity, not copy-paste.

Most investors are open to listening.

They just want effort, not templates.

Show them focus, and the door opens faster.

Show them depth, 
and they remember your name.

Are you ready to land your first investor?

 Investor Access Unlocked

Do you think innovation means inventing something new?

It doesn’t.

Here’s the part nobody talks about:

Most ideas are tiny evolutions of something that already existed.

Nothing crazy.
Nothing groundbreaking.
Just a small twist that makes it better.

The best founders don’t wait for “original.”
They study what already works.
Then improve it by one percent.

That’s it.

Look at the biggest platforms today.

They didn’t create everything they’re known for.

They spotted what people loved.
They rebuilt it.
They did it better.

That’s the real game.

You don’t need a brand-new idea.
You need a sharper version of an existing one.

A small upgrade can become a huge advantage.
Real growth comes from improving, not inventing.

You don’t need to live in Silicon Valley.

You just need one thing:

International reach.

Most founders get stuck on the same question:
“How do I get customers outside my country?”

The good news is:

You don’t need to relocate, nor do you need investor circles and a network.

You just need smarter launch channels.

Because even if you’re building from a small town,
with zero connections, you can still gain global visibility for your product.

Two platforms to launch a tech startup:

1️⃣ BetaList

A perfect place for early traction.
Simple to submit.
Consistent for quality signups.
And often leads to more exposure than you expect.

2️⃣ Product Hunt

Early adopters scroll it daily.
They’re actively looking for new tools.
A single launch can open global demand.

Your location doesn’t decide your access.

Your launch channels do.

Pick the right platforms and the world becomes your market.

Where are you planning to launch next?

You don’t need to fear AI. 

AI isn’t hitting every job the same way.

Some roles are shrinking fast.

Others are growing quietly on the side.

White collar isn’t automatically “safe” anymore,
and blue collar isn’t automatically “replaceable."

The gap between the two keeps widening.

Tasks that live on a screen get automated first.

Tasks that live in the real world take longer to copy.

That’s why plumbers are rising.

And why junior analysts are shrinking.

Not because one job is “better”, 
but because one job is harder to automate.

While full replacement takes time,
task-by-task replacement is already here.

A slice disappears, then another, 
until the role looks nothing like it used to.

The real question becomes:
Are you betting your career on the right side of change?

The Great AI Job Shift

Startup Anatomy // Newsletter Edition 5

You don’t need fame or a huge following to build a meaningful life.

Sometimes, all you need is two quiet hours a day and the courage to write what you actually think.

Dan Koe was earning fifty-five thousand a year at a corporate desk when he realized something:

He was building someone else’s future, not his own.

So he walked away.

No team.
No office.
No “big break.”

Just writing, thinking, and sharing ideas with people who didn’t want to live life on autopilot.

He didn’t go viral overnight.
He didn’t skip the failures.

He built slowly.
Tweet by tweet.
Thread by thread.
Idea by idea.

Every experiment, even the ones that flopped, sharpened his skills.

And when his audience finally formed, he turned clarity into products that actually helped people:

A planner he needed.
A system he wished he had years ago.
Courses built from his own mistakes.
A business designed on purpose, not pressure.

Dan proves you don’t need a 50-person team to make real money or real impact.

You can build lean.
You can build honestly.
You can build quietly and still move millions of people.

That’s the story I unpack in this week’s edition of Startup Anatomy.

How one creator built a multi-million-dollar business . . .
with a laptop, discipline, and two hours of writing a day.

The biggest red flag in a pitch?

Telling investors what you think they want to hear.

You do it because you’re scared.

Scared to sound naive, too bold, or too early.

But the moment you shape your story to impress them,
you lose the conviction that made you start.

The best founders don’t pitch to please.

They pitch with courage, even when it feels risky.

Investors don’t back caution. 

They back belief.

✅ Clear vision over safe words
✅ Bold bets over conservative forecasts
✅ Real confidence over rehearsed lines

Courage doesn’t mean you don’t feel fear.

It means you move through it.

Because the truth is, 
fear never really leaves.

You just stop letting it lead.

So, the next time the questions start coming,
don’t perform for the room.

Own it with conviction.

Show them you’re already all in.
