The founder problem

Building a company is not hard because information is unavailable.

It is hard because founders don't know which decisions matter most right now.

What should I build first?
Who is my real customer?
Is my pricing right?
What should I focus on this week?
Should I hire?
Should I raise capital?
What is preventing profitability?
