TL;DR -
When evaluating Web3 founders, look for these ✅ flags:
- Self-aware leaders who acknowledge their limitations and build complementary teams
- Vision that remains consistent through market cycles—they build during bears, not just bulls
- Transparent compensation structures based on market realities
- Product decisions driven by user needs, not short-term token price pumps
Run from founders who display these ❌ flags:
- Interview processes focused on everything except your actual skills
- Burning through runway with no clear path to sustainability
-Defensive reactions when questioned about strategy or roadmap
- Prioritizing conference appearances over actual product development
- Token economics that benefit insiders but leave contributors holding the bag
