HN won't probably like the tone of this one. But one thing I want to emphasize from the post: you don't need to be innovative
I don't know anything about founding nor am I interested about it, but at least it was funny. On some other topic, I've found this kind of post to be refreshing and relieving, even if your inner voice says "yes, but...". It is kind of popping a couple of the nested bubbles you're in when you are deep in a project.
This line about innovation reminds me what one of the (founding) member of a band says in a masterclass session [1]: the music you make doesn't have to be entirely new all the time. They show an example with one of their own song and compare it to another famous one: "That's the same thing".
