> Thanks for supporting our journey. Probably just traditional "our incredible journey" exit language, but reminds me to mention a mindset misalignment that we see frequently in startups: Providing a solution isn't about our journey (together?). It's about the solution. I think many of us often have good alignment at some point, and really want to solve the problem. But as it becomes a business, we also have to be thinking about the business. That's OK, but remember that we're also still purporting to solve a problem. The people for whom the problem is being solved don't much care about our journey -- they care about the problem being solved. If the solution effort is ending, and we're framing it to those people as our "journey", that sounds like we missed the point of the "support". |
