This is great sense for #founders...
...but let me add a caveat to the golden rule...
...and customers are prepared to pay for it.
Loads of people will tell you they want something...until they see the bill.
Why do you invest the time in falling in love with the problem?
To identify a great solution that you can #monetise.
This isn't Romeo and Juliet. This is business.
What is #productmarketfit if it isn't a solution that you're successfully monetising?

Most startups fail because they build something nobody wants 💔
To avoid that, there's one golden rule: "fall in love with the problem not the solution"
However, what does that even mean? Well, it means building something to solve a real problem real people have (and that they want to get a solution for).

As stated below the old saying goes, 'fall in love with the problem, and the solution will follow.' At S44 Energy, that's exactly what we did. We immersed ourselves in the challenges of EV charging—fragmented systems, closed-off solutions, and unreliable infrastructure. And that's how #CitrineOS was born.
Our open-source, API-first Charge Station Management System breaks free from the closed-loop ecosystems, offering flexibility, scalability, and true interoperability for a rapidly growing market.
Excited to see how this game-changer will drive the future of electrification. Let's keep pushing the boundaries together! Connect with us and implement CitrineOS to power your EV Charging network.

Most startups fail because they solve the wrong problem—or worse, a problem no one cares about. Guillermo Flor nails it with his golden rule: “Fall in love with the problem, not the solution.” This simple #mindset shift can be the difference between creating a product that thrives and one that fades away.
Look at the biggest startups today—FacebookAirbnbStripe —they started with a real problem that people desperately needed solved. As #founders and innovators, we should constantly ask: What problem am I really solving?
If you’re working on something, make sure the problem you’re tackling is something people actually want a solution for.
