Founders

As a co-founder or a potential teammate, what kind of founder do you want to work with?

1. Founder who isn’t in love with the idea rather talk with customer and change it.
2. Who knows the shit what it takes & close of the company if hypothesis fails (gut testing)
3. Who knows it’s not only HE in the picture but 10 others who committed to it. Even if they get salary they need to be founder themselves to make greater good product.
4. Similar to 3rd, help team to be founder themselves. lol you hire xyz for marketing and then tell me what to do is not the way. Let them come up, that’s why they are hired.
5. Celebrate mistake (in a good way)
6. Say 100% truth, no big dream selling things!


this is majority i think all founders should do, create more founders at your company and company will thrive.

Imo taking up a task and iterating is a linear growth. But joining the right team is exponential. If you are an engineer from Pendle or a product guy from Blur, you're valued at 10x than someone else that did similar tasks.

I disagree on if that’s a losing team, i feel that’s where there are no more dependencies rather take up a task complete it off, share results if good iterate if not tweak and iterate!

Your product is a hypothesis that it’ll solve some problem, there a great chance that problem doesn’t exist or maybe more chance that product isn’t solving it off too! main point that i wanted to put was be agile and not rigid :) 

Everything else falls into the place!

That’s awesome thank you. 

Every person in the team is a founder. You’re taking on a big risk of potentially joining a losing team as well. You want to be the one who built XYZ. 

I’m in love with my idea though. I still talk to people and hear them out but customers are often pretty bad at building products but great at explaining their problems. Ideas shouldn’t come from customers, imo. Wdyt?
