"The curse of every great entrepreneur: being too early.” – Marc Andreessen"

🔥 “The curse of every great entrepreneur: being too early.” – Marc Andreessen

Most founders fear being too late — but the truth is, almost all fail because they’re too early.

👉 You see the future so clearly that it feels obvious.
You think: “Why isn’t the world already like this?”
That’s the curse. You’re right — just too soon.

Why it matters:
✅ The market doesn’t reward genius — it rewards timing
✅ Great ideas fail when the world isn’t ready
✅ Patience and persistence turn “too early” into “just right”

✨ Real example:
Apple’s Newton (1989) was basically the iPad — 20 years too soon.
The same idea failed once, then changed the world later.

💡 Founder takeaway:
You’re not crazy — you’re early.
If your idea feels inevitable but no one gets it yet, don’t quit.
Stay alive long enough for the world to catch up.
