Any CTO here who quit their job to build their own product?

After years as a CTO I finally decided to quit and start building my own product.
It’s both exciting and scary – no salary, no safety net, just me and my idea.

I’m working on Fileo, a tool that automatically organizes documents in your cloud storage. But honestly, right now it’s less about features and more about learning how to navigate this new reality as a solo founder.

Curious: how did you handle the shift from leading a team to being on your own?
What was hardest for you in the first months?
