💡 Description:
Many technical founders believe code is the hardest part, but the real challenges begin after the software is written. This session dives into the mindset shift from developer to entrepreneur — where product-market fit, customer understanding, and mental resilience become the true tests of success.

🔹 What you’ll learn:

• The developer delusion – why we think coding is the hard part and the fallacy of “if I build it, they will come”;

• Technical perfection vs product-market fit – finding the balance between ideal architecture and customer value;

• What you want to build vs what customers need – closing the painful gap that challenges every technical founder;

• The mental game – loneliness, doubt, and the real side of entrepreneurship;

• Q&A session – open discussion with real lessons from the field.
