I saw a tweet from someone I don’t follow, basically pissed that Jesse from Base isn’t acknowledging their tech. The paradox of this thought process is twofold:

1️⃣ If your tech is truly advanced, it shouldn’t need Jesse’s signal to succeed—adoption and results will speak louder.

2️⃣ Relying on external validation rather than focusing on building is a crutch, and entitlement like this only distracts from creating something impactful.

True innovation doesn’t need permission to thrive.
