Dear Startup warriors!

Don’t you wish your Investors or your management were like this DJ?

In the last few weeks, we’ve been privileged to witness history unfold at the Olympics, filled with extraordinary displays of skill, determination, and sportsmanship. But among these moments, one stands out as truly remarkable.

The gold medal match in women’s volleyball between Canada and Brazil was intense — an electrifying clash that saw tempers flare and emotions run high. As players faced off at the net, the tension was palpable, culminating in a heated exchange that drew the referee’s intervention.

With adrenaline surging and the next point hanging in the balance, the unexpected happened. The DJ played John Lennon’s “Imagine” over the loudspeakers, and in an instant, the mood shifted. Faces that moments before were etched with anger softened into smiles.

In the heat of competition or changing marketing trend, it’s easy to lose sight of what really matters. We pour our hearts into something, and when things don’t go as planned, frustration and anger can take hold. In some case, it is the blame game! But then, something as simple as a song can bring us back, restoring our perspective.

In the fast-paced world of startups, it’s easy to lose sight of the bigger picture. We invest our energy, resources, and passion into a startup, believing in its potential to disrupt the market. But when things don’t go as planned — when growth slows, or challenges arise — anxiety and frustration can quickly set in.
Yet, in those moments of doubt, something unexpected can shift our perspective. A conversation, a breakthrough, or even a simple reminder of why we believed in the first place can bring us back to center, helping us see the long-term vision again.

This is the nature of the journey.
