Another thought experiment: If you were CEO of YC, what would your strategy be for maximizing equity value of the business over the next decade? Would you do exactly as they're doing (if it ain't broke, don't fix it)? Would you add additional products/biz lines? Something else? twitter.com/eriktorenberg/…
ODF has had 2,000 fellows so far—We're now building services/marketplaces on top of ODF to help founders: - Hiring/cofounder matching - Angel/VC intros - Customer intros - Deck help - Idea maze - GLG We are hiring owners for all the above. Email [email protected] if that's you.
Probably an unpopular opinion but I think in the day and age of social media/personal branding...too often founders focus on being celebrated & not enough time being heads down & scaling some revolutionary shit. We're hopping on panels, doing interviews, etc before real success.

I found this research really interesting. The three factors that have played the biggest role in CEO's COVID-19 responses: Glass half full vs half empty, Costs vs people, and short term vs long term thinking. bit.ly/32r5Pym

The Compounded Brain: I look for founders with powerful mental frameworks that have been compounded by experimentation and execution of ideas to epic reality or to noble failure. Compounded Brains can often bend space and time.
