Social proof matters. A quote from a happy user > a paragraph of features. #MarketingTips #Founders

Before you build a team, build your operating system. How do you make decisions? Track goals? Share updates? Founders who create clarity early can scale faster, and with less chaos later. #StartupTips #Founders

If you're pitching investors, remember: clarity beats hype. They’ve seen thousands of decks. What they want is a clear problem, a clear solution, and proof that you're the one to build it. #PitchTips #StartupFunding

Validation isn’t someone saying “that’s a cool idea.” It’s a user clicking, paying, or referring. Test early, test cheap, and build with real feedback. #LeanStartup #CustomerDiscovery

Building in a new market? Don’t assume what worked back home will work here. Different country = different culture, pricing, customer pain points. Localize with care. #GlobalExpansion #CanadaStartups

Everyone wants to scale. Few take time to build the system first. Don’t skip the foundation. #StartupLessons #FounderMindset

Some people build startups to impress. Others build to solve. Guess who lasts longer? #StartupWisdom #BuildToLast

When you’re building something you believe in, tunnel vision is real. But real progress comes when you zoom out. For Sia Ghazvinian, co-founder of Abivo, scaling his AI startup meant stepping back, and building with clarity. Funded by #GC through FedDev Ontario

Good mentors don’t just validate your idea. They challenge it. Early-stage founders need feedback that makes them think deeper, not just feel better. #StartupAdvice #BuildSmart #FounderTips

Not every “yes” is a win. If you're hearing yes too often, you're probably not talking to the right people. Find the ones who say: “Yes, but…” that's where your product gets better. #StartupGrowth #EarlyStage

Don't just build for the pitch. It’s easy to obsess over investor decks. But the best founders are building with customers in mind, not just capital. Get the story right. But get the product right first. #StartupTips #FundraisingTruths

Your startup's first hires shape the culture more than any value statement. Hire for clarity, curiosity, and ownership. The rest follows. #FounderTips #StartupHiring
