To Be Free

This is completely anecdotal.

I really never wanted to write something that compares being a B2B SaaS founder to being free, but here I am.

In 2022, I found myself pitching some post-ZIRP environment with some, very technically or socially validated issues. As a Junior, or even a Freshman, this is something - a relationship - Seniors, or even Partners, rarely feel. It’s the rough-cut validation of an issue that someone is trying to provide financial value towards.

What a human and American ability that not many people are privileged to see. I first felt this as a journalist and last felt it as a Junior.

My problem is real is something that humans have been justifying for a long time.
