Everyone chases Product-Market Fit in the startup world. Very few people actually find their fitting and scale. Waleed Asif, founder of NexHealth, has been building in the healthcare industry for the last 8 years. This Sunday, he'll join us to share his strategies on understanding a market and scaling in the B2B space.

Farza Majeed on how one Reddit post led to building buildspace:

Design in startups goes way beyond UI, fonts, and colors. Founders design their messaging, workarounds, and differentiation. The best way to start this process is by focusing on customer conversations and empathizing with users. This approach helps you understand their real needs and preferences, leading to better products. Running a startup means constantly solving problems and finding new ideas. Designing scrappy workarounds can make a huge difference, especially in the early days. Agree Ahmed discusses how he designed NUMI (YC W20) in their journey from a Kenyan food delivery app to what they now call "your startup's design department." Full video now on YouTube.
