Founders are sometimes sooo stupid

OMG I keep getting frustrated with my founder - keeps making teh same obvious mistakes over and over again. At fisrt when I was neew to startups, I'd think founders were suuuuuper smart and intelligent and geniuses and I'd put them up on a pedestal. But now.... I know they can be just as stupid as the next person and don't always know what they're doing.

Every person will find the other person stupid. As a former startup owner, I can vouch for the extreme pressure one has to face as founder.

Want to experience a founders life, quit your job and look for another. For people who can't start their own business, this is the closest one can experience pressure of cash flow.

this is a bad faith response. the OP definitely needs to step up and help the founder but this is a platform for no judgement. If you can't do that you should not be on this app.

then you solve his problems for him.. and get promoted/rewarded. No individual human can do everything. Great startups are formed by grear teams not great founders.

I am a founder & I do stupid stuff all the time.

Life at Early stage startups

I used to tell my friends, "When you work at an early-stage startup, there’s no life outside work."

Two years in, I now realize—there's no life inside work either.

For context: I’m part of a 9-person tech team at an early-stage startup...

My rant about the Startup Ecosystem in India

The US is the land of dreams because of primarily 2 reasons: enough talented folks willing to take big risks and enough risk-capital providers. Both these pillars for India have issues. Let me explain.

First, there are no true risk take...
