Be ambitious and don’t scale

Many founders and investors focus on scaling.

But what if there’s? Or at least an essential step prior to that?

‍

Imagine your main tracking tool is an Excel spreadsheet.

And ou’re manually processing refunds.

Using your personal Revolut (finance app) account.

‍

Sounds rudimentary and little optimized for scaling, right? 

‍

Well, that’s exactly the story of REVER.

And how Màrius Montmany got into Y Combinator. 

‍

I heard this story a few months ago while I was attending an event in Barcelona, and I remember two reactions.

‍

1️. Y Combinator saw potential and said:

‍

"It may not be the future solution, but it shows you're making something people want."

‍

2️. Arnau Navarro, founder of Haddock, added:

‍

“Solve the problem. Once 100 customers LOVE you, then figure out how to scale."

‍

Scaling is important, but it’s not step one. 

‍

So, stop worrying about that too early and solve a real problem first. Then, the rest will follow.
