#earlystage
The hardest part of a startup isn’t failing.

It’s staying mentally steady while things are “fine” but fragile.

No crisis.
No win.
Just quiet pressure every day.

🤯 SEO won't save your early startup.

Founders waste months chasing rankings before product-market fit.

Build an irresistible offer first, THEN optimize for SEO at scale.
