Founder milestone nobody celebrates:

The first time a stranger pays for what you built.

Not a friend.
Not a cousin.
Not someone doing you a favor.

Just a person with a problem who decided your solution was worth money.

That hits different.

Your first startup budget:

$20 for hosting.
$15 for a domain.
$0 for marketing.
$200 on coffee because apparently you’re the entire company. 😭

What’s one expense you wish you’d avoided as a founder?

Nobody warns you that being a solo founder means holding meetings with yourself.

“We need more customers.”

Agreed.

“Who’s handling sales?”

…also me. 😭

A founder’s browser tabs tell the whole story:

Pricing. Competitor. Analytics. “How to get first 100 users.” Random bug fix.

And one tab you’ve avoided all day: the customer you need to follow up with. 😭
