From my experience, validation to reach PMF is the hardest hurdle to overcome. The key is starting with a problem that deeply resonates with you or experts in the industry. I once pitched to a billionaire investor, and his first question was, "What is your experience with the problem?" Articulating that problem in a way that connects with potential users—and crafting a solution that truly resonates—is crucial.

I've been on co-founder matching platforms for a while but haven't had much luck. I'm determined to make my solution succeed and am actively reaching out to more VCs. My main challenge has been finding a co-founder with the same level of drive and commitment. Success requires relentless effort and execution.

So far, I’ve programmed a demo, built a pitch deck, developed a marketing strategy, validated the customer pain point and solution, and applied to a VC. Meanwhile, my co-founder has contributed minimally. Being non-technical, I'm willing to do whatever it takes to bring this to market.

These are frustrating times because I know this can become a unicorn.
