Experience I gained after quitting my job to focus on my startup

by•

Hi Product Hunt, I'm Vasya🤝

For over 6 years, I've been working as a product manager.
For the past 1.5 years, I've been building my own startup in the social trading space within web3, where I serve as CEO.
You've probably already guessed that I'm passionate about the idea of decentralized finance (DeFi), as well as SocialFi and blockchain technologies.
I have strong expertise in product management, web3 marketing, and UX/UI design.

In those 1.5 years, I've managed to:

  • assemble a team of developers,

  • participate in two hackathons,

  • build a product nobody needed,

  • spend all the money and raise investments from family and friends,

  • make a pivot,

  • go through an accelerator and secure three grants.

    Right now, I'm preparing my startup for launch on January 10, and I'd love to exchange experiences with like-minded people as well as get your support on launch day!
    Happy New Year🎄

Hey Vasya, what a journey! 1.5 years is already quite a lot, so no regrets about leaving the corp.job? Lots of luck on the launch day!

Hi Yulia!

There came a point when working in a corporation became a comfort zone for me — where all the processes are clear, tasks are straightforward, and actions are almost automatic. In a startup, you're never in a comfort zone; you always have a challenge, and I love that. That's why I don't regret a thing.

Thanks for the kind wishes and the question!
