Early-stage startups founder don’t fail at ideas. They fail during validation. When one person builds, design, sells, and decides everything, speed replaces structure. This phase doesn’t reward confidence. It rewards patience under pressure. Founders who survive this stage are often the ones worth backing 🔥 . HumIQ - Built with 💝 for startup founders.

Like everything else, it depends. The people fail all kinds of ways. Some at validation, sure. Others fail to believe in themselves, others don’t have the right circumstances, others the right network. Some get ripped off, some have bad timing (too early, too late). Two individuals with the same idea at the same time are unlikely to have the same outcome.

What excites me most about this opportunity is the chance to work with such a dynamic, fast forward-thinking team while contributing to Back Market’s mission of making refurbished tech the first choice for everyone. Back Market is more than just a workplace; it’s a community dedicated to making a significant social and environmental difference through the circular economy of reconditioned electronics.

🔥 RAISE Summit 2025 🔥 Just got back from the RAISE Summit 2025 in Paris, and wow, what an energy boost. This wasn’t just another AI event… It was a room full of builders, dreamers, and founders actually doing the thing. 🧠⚡ I don’t usually go to events just to “network” or “explore companies.” I went with a purpose, and this time, it was all about learning how to innovate Discoby AI in the smartest, most impactful way possible. 💡 Before the event, I had one version of the product in mind. After speaking 1:1 with so many founders at their tables, I came out with a clearer, bolder, and more Gen Z-focused vision for AI-powered smart fashion shopping. 💬 And to Roxanne VARZA — you're not just the Director of Station F. You’re a real one, a dream-to-reality engine for the next generation of founders. Can’t wait to join the Station F fam. Manifesting it hard. 🙌 This is the direction we needed. 🚀 Shoutout to the brilliant teams and supporters I met: OpenAI, GenAI.Works, NeevCloud®, Groq, Baseten, Prosus Group, OVHcloud, and STATION F, you all gave me real insights and encouragement. Also… big love to all the young founders I vibed with. Your fire is contagious 🔥 And trust me, Discoby AI is about to bring that same energy to the local fashion scene, powered by real AI tech, real personalization, and real impact. ✨ Mark my words: next year, around this same time, I’ll be back at Raise Summit 2026, not someone searching for investors but standing tall as one of the successful AI startup stories. Let’s gooo! 💥 #AI #RaiseSummit #Discoby #StartupLife #GenZTech #FashionTech #SmartShopping #ParisTech #FoundersInTheMaking #WatchThisSpace
