Why I Built This

A Builder's Journey

Priyanka - Builder

Hey, I'm Priyanka 👋

I'm a fellow builder who has been deeply inspired by Starter Story. Building wasn't something that came naturally to me — I explored many domains, tried different paths, and eventually found my calling in crafting products from scratch.

There's something magical about seeing a tool you've created being used by people around the world. Like many indie hackers, I dream of building sustainable products that generate revenue — because creating more requires resources, and passion alone doesn't pay the bills.

"Starter Story has been my compass — helping me understand the founder mindset, discover tools that work, and learn from those who've walked this path before me."

I'm not successful yet — and I don't pretend to be. But I'm continuously learning, always looking for the next idea, the next opportunity. Whenever I feel stuck, I turn to Starter Story for inspiration.

These summaries are my personal notes — everything I've learned from watching founder interviews, distilled into actionable insights. If you don't have time to watch hours of videos, grab these summaries and get the key takeaways in minutes. I hope they inspire you as much as they've inspired me.
