There’s a common belief amongst growing teams that you need to hire “org leaders” aka bureaucrats at some point. It’s a lie propagated by bureaucrats. The best leaders are authentic doers. Hire and promote them and let them lead. – at San Francisco, CA

I just read an account by an El Al crew member. An Orthodox Jewish man who preferred to remain anonymous stood quietly near the El Al counter at New York's JFK Airport yesterday. Anyone who showed him an IDF call-up notice got his ticket paid for. He paid for 250 tickets.

All startups internally are a mess & we all make it up as we along. We just all pretend they're not. So don't feel bad about the shitshow you call your company. You're not alone 😍.

The $5m Seed and $30m Series A benefits the VCs more than the startup. VCs encourage CEOs to ‘raise more’ to justify bloated fund sizes to LPs. Bigger funds = more mgmt fees, carry, ‘status’ Nice for VCs, bad for CEOs. The right sized round is a $2.5m Seed and a $15m Series A.
Just a little bit left… 😶

By default most founders are 😭 short term optimists (ignore bad execution) and 🥴 long term pessimists (pick small problems) Successful founders are the opposite— 🧐 short term pessimists and (always improving) 😎 long term optimists (pick big problems) youtube.com/watch?v=9NYrsE_y…

I asked partners from VC firms like Sequoia, Bessemer, and Lightspeed what traits make founders successful. Between seed stage and unicorn status, the business model or market can change, but the founder has an outsized impact. Here's a thread on the 7 traits they identified 🧵
