@JayaGup10 Great take. I think the runaway spend and corresponding lack of results (which you frame brilliantly as too much intelligence) is their own doing.

Welcome Slack ITSM by Salesforce.

@GergelyOrosz I’ve seen this work well mostly for new grads and early career folks. Quite hard to get senior engineers to interview, let alone spend a week away from their day job

[Rahul Kayala @RahulKayala]

They can absolutely be founding team members. Just be honest about the trade-off.

Give them equity, pay them well, but don't expect them to stick around during the boring months when there's nothing sexy to post about.

[Rahul Kayala @RahulKayala]

Hot take: The "founding creator" trend is a trap most startups are walking into blindly.

Every startup now ships cinematic launch videos because when software takes weeks to build, distribution buys you some moat.

But we're confusing skills with DNA. 🧵

[Rahul Kayala @RahulKayala]

Your "founding creator" will quit the moment they hit 100K followers.

They're building THEIR brand, not yours.

The content that goes viral about your startup? It's actually about them.

@JayaGup10 Because FT as a service would sound like saying fatass

@rak_garg MIT posted a staggering stat and here’s how my AI company is in the 5%

Conferences can be pretty effective channels to land and close customers. Avoid at your own risk!

[Hubert Thieblot @hthieblot]

Huge founder time-wasters
– Conferences (unless you’re speaking)
– constant networking
– Meeting VCs when you’re not raising
– Entertaining M&A talks when you’re not selling

You’re paid to grow your company, not to network with people who are paid to talk.

@lulumeservey @astronomerio well I hadn’t heard of astronomer before today so it’s not all bad news

[Rahul Kayala @RahulKayala]

@chamath @dwarkesh_sp dis you!!

[Rahul Kayala @RahulKayala]

@nikunj You need to do the work to get a reward and improve your decision making

[Rahul Kayala @RahulKayala]

@harris would be great to read once done

[Rahul Kayala @RahulKayala]

@khoomeik This is beautiful dude!

[Rahul Kayala @RahulKayala]

@ritwikpavan it’s kinda nice to have your parents staff join - yes, they’re not your friends or perhaps don’t care too much - but they helped your parents build a good life and give you one!

or at least that’s how I rationalized it
