The Broken Startup Ecosystem

Personally, from my experience, the #startup ecosystem is (sort of) broken.

Most founders aim to get investment, not build a business.

Most founders believe their startup will be a unicorn, and if it’s not, they blame investors for not committing in time.

Many aspiring founders expect cofounders to sacrifice by taking minimal equity and no salary, despite having achieved very little themselves. They then complain about not finding the right partner.

Many CEOs ask employees to wear multiple hats for a minimum viable salary, while acting like executives in big corporations and not being transparent about how much they actually take from the company.

The real matter is what you do. Simple.
