Your Founder Story

These answers form the foundation of your featured article. Write naturally — we'll handle the editing.

What problem did you experience that led you to build this? *

The personal “why” — what frustrated you, what gap did you see, what moment made you decide to build?

What did the early days look like? *

First users, first version, how you got started. The messier and more honest, the better.

What's a challenge you almost didn't get past? *

A moment where things nearly fell apart — and what you did about it.

What metric or milestone are you most proud of?

A specific number, achievement, or moment that validated the work.

What would you tell a founder starting today?

One or two things you wish someone had told you.

I agree to have my story published on The Startup Project. I understand the article may be lightly edited for clarity. A link back to my listing from my website is required to maintain the feature.
