Why Stories Matter

Starting a business can feel overwhelming—especially when most advice online is generic or unrealistic.

HowTheyStarted exists to change that.

We interview Australian founders and business owners to uncover:

  • How they got their first customers

  • What it really cost to start

  • The mistakes they made early

  • The strategies that actually worked

No hype. Just real experiences.
