Plenty of real companies started on a bedroom floor next to a pile of laundry. Where you start isn’t the pitch.

CREATIVITY

WHAT THIS MEANS

Beginnings are almost always unimpressive, and the polished version gets written later by people describing it backwards. Customers care whether the thing works, not where it was assembled. Waiting for a setting that looks legitimate is a way of delaying the only part that matters.

Start from wherever you actually are and stop apologizing for the surroundings in your head. Put the effort into the product rather than the appearance of an operation. Nobody who benefits from what you make will ask what the room looked like.
