Top 3 Value Bombs
1. Identify problems that you are passionate about working on even if nobody is paying you. It makes it a lot easier.
2. Be in a position where you are objectively building a good business - where you don't need anybody else to fund you.
3. Sometimes you just have to observe. Keep your eyes and ears open to opportunities and pain points as they come.
Spend management done right. Three products. One platform - Airbase
