Lessons Learned While Building MindBridgeLabs

An honest founder note — what we got right, what we got painfully wrong, and what we'd do differently from day one.

Tochukwu Okorie
Founder, MindBridgeLabs

We started MindBridgeLabs to do work that wouldn't embarrass us five years later. Almost everything else, we learned the hard way.

What we got right early

  • Saying no to wrong-fit clients, even when revenue was tight
  • Investing in our own brand before chasing more outreach
  • Hiring slowly and writing things down compulsively

What we got wrong

  • Pricing too low for too long
  • Confusing being busy with making progress
  • Waiting too long to launch our own ventures
