How do you keep your startup team motivated when money runs out?
Keeping a startup team motivated without money is one of the hardest challenges I ve faced, harder than growth or sales.
I ve worked on a few SaaS products with let s just say, not-ideal budgets. And honestly, the hardest part wasn t traction. It was morale.

What automation tools are you using for hight-ticket deals ?
Automation tools make sense when your sales cycle is shorter than a month. Fast product, low price, high volume. Like selling clothes at a market, you talk to a hundred people and some of them buy today.
Selling IoT software or hardware is a different sport. The cycle runs for months, there are four people in the room, and the decision is expensive enough that nobody makes it casually.
And your buyer is already buried under hundreds of automated, templated messages. That's exactly why the old-fashioned thing still wins. You do the homework. You actually understand their business, their constraints, their timing. You show up knowing something the other twelve vendors didn't bother to learn and that's what closes it.
So my line ends up here: automate the research, the notes, the reminders, the deck. Everything that reaches the person stays handmade.

Most software isn't limited by AI anymore.
Every few months, we get a new model that's faster, cheaper, and better than the last one.
But I've come to realize that the AI itself is not the most important bottleneck anymore.
It's the ecosystem of things around it that gets more difficult designing a workflow that feels intuitive, building trust, reducing latency and making sure that the product feels like something the person will love to use every day.

How do you educate yourself and upskill your professional knowledge? + Opportunity [AI School]
There's one good saying that
"Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young."
This is so authentic, especially in the tech world, when everything changes so fast.

What are the biggest mistakes founders make that hold them back?
Being a founder requires a completely different skillset than being an employee. And most people underestimate just how different it is until they're already in it.
For me, the biggest mistake I see founders make and one I've fallen into myself 1000 times is not delegating consistently enough. Your time as a founder is your most valuable asset. Every hour you spend on something someone else could do is an hour you're not spending on the things only you can do. And the trap is subtle. You tell yourself you'll do it faster. That it's easier to just handle it. That nobody will do it as well as you. All of that might be true. It doesn't matter.
