Are all founders a$$hole-ly?

Many of them are egoistic, surrounded by yes men/women, want to be reminded of how great they are, being pursued at all times

Have you met ones who aren't like this? Or atleast less?

Quality of a good founder is being an asshole when required. The world isn't kind to nice guys, they get taken advantage of.

Even customers need to be banned and occasionally put in their place. Many of them think it's their birthright to abuse and scam companies. Can't always be nice, especially not towards other assholes.

Rant or is it ?

Absolutely sad to see the state of the startups, most of them. I am a founder myself, and this is a post with equal disappointment with myself as much as it is for anyone else who relates. Look at all these companies that have raised s...

Why is every single "Founder" here an a*shole?

Literally, every single Founder I've encountered here seems to be an old, regressive, hard-headed boomer who hates the younger generation for their freedom.

Go through some DINK or WFH or Salary Rant posts and you'll be able to spot th...
