Founder Diaries: Entry 5

Welcome to "Founder Diaries," where the polished narratives of entrepreneurship are set aside for a raw, unfiltered dive into the founder's mind. Each entry captures the real-time reflections, struggles, and epiphanies of navigating the startup journey. Join me as we explore the unscripted side of building, dreaming, and sometimes stumbling, in the relentless pursuit of innovation.

Entry 5

Ahhh progress has been made…

The progress may be small however, it is progress. For the regular readers, you may recall in Founder Diaries: Entry 3 I made the decision to outsource some of the design of the software platform I am building as I bootstrap my B2B2C SaaS solution and speak to VC’s. At the time this sounded like a good idea, in many cases, it is. Having said that, deadlines have been missed repeatedly as they have not been able to complete the designs within the agreed timelines. It seems either I selected the wrong team to outsource to or they required more management and couldn’t work to schedules. Either way… it’s on me.
