We launched Typedream at the beginning of the pandemic. Then came the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Both situations caused supply chain issues that led to inflation.

Here are some reasons why to start a startup in a bad economy:
As @paulg @ycombinator says, "What matters is who you are, not when you do it. If you're the right sort of person, you'll win even in a bad economy. And if you're not, a good economy won't save you.”

At Typedream, we realized that when in-person operations were paused, more businesses would have to switch their operations online and they would need a #nocode website builder.
