No better time to build

I watched the Warriors game with my Dad today. It was a good one. My Dad is a forever pessimist and announced at the end of the 1st quarter that the Warriors were done. I believe we were down 6 at the time. I had to remind him of the time that he bet against the Niners in the Super Bowl and ended up losing $10k to a friend.

There’s a lot of doom and gloom nowadays in the startup space. Markets are down. Downrounds are coming. Layoffs are likely on the horizon. Yet, we need to remind people that we’re still in the early innings.

In my short time building Secfi, I’ve learned that the best opportunities come when the future seems less than certain. No startups ever make it without some major bumps along the way. This time is just another bump. We’ll get over it.

In the meantime, there are major opportunities for those looking for it. It could be in the form of a game changing hire that was unfortunately laid off. There may be a new business opportunities that opened up because of the market volatility. Or perhaps it’s as simple as a team coming other and prioritizing better when times are tough.

There’s no better time to build than right now.
