What Advice Does Breaker CTO Leah Culver Give New Founders?

Leah Culver, then CTO of Breaker, told Forward Thinking Founders to go build the thing and not let anyone talk you out of it. Learning to program felt like a superpower: if someone described a product, she could see how to make it, even though the work would take time. She would rather ask what could exist than what exists today. She will happily say she has no forecast, including a bet that a social app bigger than Facebook would appear within ten years, because products turn over and Facebook was already struggling. Her summary for the listener was the same. Start, keep going, and ignore the claim that the category is finished.
