When can you start talking to people about your new business? At what point are you considered a founder?
Some may tell you to wait until you have a business name, or have filed for incorporation, or have sold a product, or have raised money. Phooey.
This question comes up a lot for early stage founders, particularly when they’re contemplating reaching out to potential strategic partners & customers. “Will they take me seriously without a website?”
Let me tell you, it’s really valuable to just start no matter how sophisticated your “business” is. You can talk to potential strategic partners & customers right out of the gate.
Many times, you might worry that these people will think you are just trying to sell them when, really, you want to learn & do research. The fact that you DON’T have a website and a name yet actually works in your favor.
Instead, you’re their friend, their confidant, trying eagerly to solve their very unique problem.
This is a valuable place to be in.
