The Myth of Linear Growth
Picture this: you're in a pitch meeting, proudly displaying that beautiful graph that starts low, curves gently upward, and then shoots for the moon. It's a nice story, but about as realistic as a unicorn farm.
The truth? Your startup's journey is more likely to hit every letter from A to Z, probably a dozen times, and not necessarily in order. Some days you're on the verge of a breakthrough, other days you're wondering what day of the week it is!
