Kabhi aisa lagta hai ki jaise sabko founder banna hai kyonki fail hone ka risk hi kam hai? Failed Entrepreneur has become too much of a celebrated title no?
Also applies to VCs and senior leadership in startups. It's just sometimes easier to say I was working on a moonshot.
Accepting failure is hard and the ecosystem today seems to be rewarding failure with mo money!

Voted yes, misunderstood.. failure in startups is celebrated by a few savvy folks online that’s it.. it is still a taboo / negative / depressing experience for 99.9% of the world outside. Yes, the attempt might be celebrated but failure is still laughed on
Interesting perspective. This startup ecosystem echo chamber I tell you.
Strong Agree!

Thanks for that. Let me translate the question.
Do you feel many people are becoming Founders because 'Failed Entrepreneur' is a tag that you can carry and maybe boast about too.
No, it's a tough life. Some realise they have the stomach to stay put, some bow out. Externally you will hear these opinions, internally every day is uncertain.
Ofcourse too many people who have access to easy money think building something is easy as well. They are usually the first to bow out. They are the ones you are referring to. But this is true in every market/type of business.
Attempts should be rewarded by the eco system because sometimes attempts also create unbounded value for the entire ecosystem
