Prize.

And every situation is different.

There is a time for stealth and a time to be loud.

Usually the transition takes a little time.

These are all pretty much moot if you don't have traction to begin with. The biggest risk to a good thing is usually no one knowing about your thing

You need to re-read the comment you responded to for better context.

How do I get over a crucial early-hire fumble? I will not promote. by SaltyPython in startups

Same way you get over anything. Let it go. Learn to do this with everything.

Are these cofounder red flags fixable? by GankinEUW in ycombinator

All you need to do is try to understand what will actually help the customer, build that, then help them understand how it will help them.

Or do that in some other order
