If you’ve come to gain valuable insights that can help you grow your startup and raise funding, you’ve come to the right place.

Having read hundreds of content ranging from Substack blogs, LinkedIn posts, Twitter tweets, and Y Combinator videos about startup success stories, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by loads of information.

Additionally, it’s on a case-to-case basis.

However, I have compiled four of what I saw as the most common pieces of advice that worked for the 90% of startup founders that help them thrive and succeed in terms of revenue, fundraising, and expansion.

Being a startup founder as well, I also wrote this for myself. So, let’s get it started.

#1. Start — Launch fast

Back in college, our entrepreneurial program had this motto:

Start something.

So simple, yet so powerful. Sometimes what you need is to just start and believe that you have everything you need to start.
