Part 7/11:
A recurring theme in the session concerns how founders can prioritize problems and choose solutions wisely. Sanjiv advises that impact time should take precedence over technological complexity, especially in early stages. Building for impact rapidly outperforms delaying for sophisticated tech that might not be necessary.
He encourages founders to leverage existing solutions—whether open source or third-party APIs—to accelerate progress. The focus should be on delivering tangible value swiftly. “Anything that hampers your ability to move fast and create impact should be reconsidered,” he states. Ultimately, impact and speed are more vital than showcasing the latest tech fad.
