In this "Lessons" episode, Charlie Feng, serial entrepreneur and early-stage advisor, breaks down what it truly takes to move a company from zero to one and build the foundation for long-term scale. He explains why product-market fit is never static, how founders can use focused experiments to distinguish real demand from paid traction, and why early customer economics matter more than long-term hypotheticals. Charlie also dives into the importance of founder-market fit, describing how a team’s skills, interests, and worldview shape the product they ultimately create. Finally, he shares his framework for hiring people smarter than you—leaders who complement your strengths, align with your mission, and eventually make you redundant so the company can grow beyond its founders
