Since I started writing this newsletter, the most common question I get is about lacking work experience or not having relevant experience to get a particular job. The beauty of working at a startup is that you don’t need extensive work experience. You need the ability to learn and get things done. Most people, including the founder, are figuring things out as they go.

If you're interested in working at a startup:

1. Figure out your selling point. What can you bring to the table?

   Ps. Early-stage startups primarily need two things: Product and Sales. Ensure your unique selling point (USP) aligns with one of these areas. If your USP is strategy, it won't be of much use to a startup.

2. Learn how to sell yourself. This could be through proof of work, finding a customer or partnership for the company, securing funding for the company, or any other creative way.

I will get into a lot more detail next week. So stay tuned!
