Hey X/Twitter, I'm not active here but if you stumble across my profile or happen to follow, I have a new Substack on startup founder mistakes located at SaltandWisdom.com
I exited my fintech startup 18 months ago. Have been doing some reflecting.
It took me 5 years to hit $1M in ARR.
The first 2 years were so bad, I literally hid them from investor charts.
Here’s how (not) to launch a startup: 🧵
The truth: you’ll fail your way into focus.
If you’re launching:
1. Don’t build to silence critics.
2. Don’t hedge.
3. Don’t expect instant culture.
Win customers. Learn fast. Then scale.
CLOSED! 🎉

Really glad this was an April Fool's joke for us based on what's happening in the Crypto market these days. Real estate is facing turbulence, but it's a real, hard, cash-flowing asset class that's hard to steal or defraud.
We're extremely excited to announce the fresh, new direction for our company. Commercial real estate has been great, but there's a bigger opportunity for our startup in #NFT financing!

I'm reflecting on past interactions with unhealthy #leadership, and enablers. My view of "Yes Men" that surround unhealthy leaders was always akin to the "suck up".
Then I realized I was wrong. There's a second type, and it's actually more common.

Back home in Florida today after a whirlwind trip to NYC for #CREtechNewYork2022. Old friends, new friends, and the nostalgia of visiting the city that birthed my career and my venture @StackSource.
Thanks @DiscoverCREtech and New York!
Wow, I wasn't always sure we'd make it this far.
Other days, I thought we'd be here quicker.
But this week, we finally surpassed $1 Billion transacted on the #fintech we're building.
Someone asked how I'm celebrating. I told him, "by running analysis!"

Keep talking about Affordable Housing @FrancoFaraudo and @propmodo! Love it.
Affordable housing needs to be a main focus issue for our society, and the only true solution is more supply of housing.

Vacancy factors are almost always considered by a lender, even when the property is fully occupied. This week on the StackSource blog, CEO Tim Milazzo explains why, and what to expect when looking to finance a fully occupied building.
