I had been following a YC startup for 6 months. Every week the founder was posting insane numbers: 30% weekly growth, a fresh fundraise, everything looking like it was taking off. Same niche as me, so I paid close attention. I booked a demo. I bought the product. I tested it. And... I couldn’t understand it. It didn’t seem to work much better than what we were doing. Then two weeks ago: full rebrand. Back to zero. The founder finally said the idea wasn’t working and they were starting over with a new one. Lesson: without real data, never trust everything people say on the internet.
