"the entrepreneur's dilemma"

if you found your own startup because you don't want to work for someone else's, how are you going to convince someone else to work for you when you need to hire? 🤔

[Lewis Zhang @probookcto]

Our eng candidate is so locked in it's unreal. Definitionally intense 😎

[Lewis Zhang @probookcto]

Grateful to be working with my best friends from middle school at @probookai, it’s the best feeling ever 🙏

[Lewis Zhang @probookcto]

We’re gonna keep sleeping in the office until IPO 💪

[Lewis Zhang @probookcto]

@jonathanzliu @im_roy_lee @cluely Equity might be worthless at some startups, but the team and experiences you make along the way is what makes the startup worth it

$400k is the premium you need to pay for great engineers when your company is a meme 😅

[Lewis Zhang @probookcto]

As someone who stopped using social media 5 years ago, getting back on Twitter is so much fun!

What should I be posting to get clout here? :)

[Lewis Zhang @probookcto]

The secret hack to getting early stage investors to find conviction in your startup is to tell them you work 120+ hours a week and that most of your team sleeps at the office

[Lewis Zhang @probookcto]

@advaypal who comes to mind for you? :)

[Lewis Zhang @probookcto]

The amount of time I spent responding to constant Slack messages and emails everyday is insane

CLOSING SLACK

If you’re a founder and not working on Fourth of July, get back to work 🛳️

[Lewis Zhang @probookcto]

if you're in nyc and you work from home, you should make sure you get lots of natural light!

it's cloudy today in nyc and would be depressing af without any windows and a nice view of manhattan lol

[Lewis Zhang @probookcto]
