Iterative

Is the founder journey lonely? Sometimes. One big reason is pressure to look put together in front of customers, teams, and investors

Waffle's founders tried (A), then admitted they didn’t know the answer (B), and asked Hsu Ken if he had any advice on how to tackle the question. That moment of vulnerability didn’t hurt them. In fact, Waffle was later accepted into the S22 batch.

🇸🇬 Interview in person, hear back by EOD Fundraising is a LOT of waiting to hear back. For our upcoming W26 batch, we want to move fast: we're trying a small number of in-person interviews in Singapore, where you'll hear back from us on the day itself. Link in replies 📌

Agree or disagree: the best way to become a great founder is to expose yourself to other great founders

Anyone else feel guilty about taking breaks? Lots of founders do. The most common reason we’ve heard: feeling like your company “isn’t where it should be”

In our (first ever!) episode of the Brian and Hsu Ken show, @hsukenooi and @zealoustiger break down how founders can tackle this persistent question: "Should I continue working on my startup?" Watch here: youtu.be/cjx7umKuvHQ

#ICYMI We're running a livestream event tomorrow, where you'll tell @hsukenooi your startup idea, and he'll tell you how to validate it. Live and in under 2 minutes. Sign up here: bit.ly/sign-up-form-livestre…

Founders need to work on good ideas instead of being trapped in bad ones. To do so, learning to validate is the first step to learning growth. To help, Iterative is excited to be hosting a Validation Program that starts on November 21.

@zealoustiger: "Never spray and pray when you're fundraising."
