6/ The idea will surface from that. It usually does. Just probably not on the timeline you were hoping for, and almost certainly not in a Notion brainstorming doc. What problem have you been sitting too close to for too long? #Founders #Startups #Entrepreneurship

5/ If you're still looking for your idea, the uncomfortable advice is this: stop looking for a startup idea. Learn something deeply. Work on problems that bother you. Spend time with people who are building things in spaces you care about.

1/ Most founders I know are trying to think their way into a startup idea. Sitting with Notion open, running "brainstorming sessions," treating idea generation like a task to be completed. It almost never works. And I think I know why.

If you're building right now: what's the last thing you spent on that didn't directly help you answer whether your idea is real? Be honest. That answer tells you a lot. [6/6] #startups #founders #entrepreneurship

Frugality forces a kind of clarity that easy spending never does. When you can't throw resources at a problem, you have to actually think about it. And that's usually when founders make their best calls. [5/6]

Most first-time founders confuse spending with progress. Here's what the best ones actually do differently. [1/6]

6/ We waited months. We rationalised. We hoped. And eventually we sat in a room on a Friday night with a spreadsheet and 48 names. Trust the signal earlier. It costs less than waiting. #startups #founders #entrepreneurship

5/ Those are the people nobody ever wishes they had kept around longer. Once the doubt is there, it does not usually go away on its own.

1/ One night, the COO and I had to fire 48 people. I was the CTO. No phased plan. No performance reviews. Just a decision we had both put off for months too long. Here is what I learned about knowing when to let someone go.

Dear all, My brother Chamika Peiris got nominated for IT Personality of the Year at the Hotelier Maldives Awards 2026. Proud of him. He's been quietly doing great work managing IT across two IHG properties in the Maldives. If you've got a minute, cast a vote for him.

Most startups say they are customer-obsessed. Very few actually talk to their customers. Stripe invites one real user to an internal chat every week. No agenda. Just a conversation about how they use the product and what they want changed. One honest conversation beats a hundred dashboards. #Startups #Founders #entrepreneurs
