And I observed him and he had a very distinct demeanor that I had not seen in any founder. He had a lot of gravitas. If there was someone who was king of the hot tub that night, it was him. If he was managing the hot tub, it was him. You could just tell this is a person who’s going to lead. And he declared in the hot tub that he was working at some company called Red Swoosh, but now he was on the bench, or he started a company called Red Swoosh and sold it. He was on the bench and looking for his next thing. And if you’re an investor, a lot of what we do is it’s kind of like reporters or hacke…

Nobody's getting the logo tattooed. Nobody's writing think pieces about what you represent. You're a tool. Tools get replaced by cheaper tools. Movements don't get replaced. Religions don't get replaced. You're not building a tool. You're building a reason to believe.
PLUMSODA on X: "How To Fix Your Startups Aura in 1 Day" / X“In the early days, I had this parlor trick. I would explain what the platform was: It’s a way that writers can go independent and make money on the internet. And people would be like, ‘Yeah, that sounds kind of cool, but nobody’s going to pay for that. I don’t want to pay money to get more email.’” “And my parlor trick was: ‘Well, who’s your favorite writer?’ And they’d say, ‘It’s so-and-so.’ And I’d say, ‘Would you pay five bucks a month for them?’ And they’d say, ‘Yeah, for them I would, but that’s different. That’s somebody I really care about.’”
Substack CEO Chris Best: "You can't define success as 'no one is ever mad at us.'"Look for missionaries, not mercenaries
Substack CEO Chris Best: "You can't define success as 'no one is ever mad at us.'"Start-ups often pivot their way to success; it’s just not possible to predict every stumbling block — or every opportunity. What matters most? Stewart argues, and I agree: It’s your ability as a founder to tell the story and bring others along.

The Founder's Gita: Bhagavad Gita for Startup Founders (Chapter 1) | BookfaceWhitney Wolfe Herd's version was more violent. She co-founded Tinder, led its campus marketing as VP of Marketing, then resigned in April 2014 and filed a lawsuit for sexual harassment and discrimination against the company and its co-founders.⁸ She settled for just over $1 million. She wrote in Harper's Bazaar: "For months, it was hard for me not to feel like all that ugliness was stamped across my forehead. I sank into a deep depression. I became an insomniac and drank too much."⁹ She initially wanted to build a social network for women to give each other compliments. Andrey Andreev, founder…
The Founder's Gita: Bhagavad Gita for Startup Founders (Chapter 1) | BookfaceButterfield had been here before. In 2002, he built a multiplayer game called Game Neverending. It failed. A photo-sharing feature inside the game became Flickr, which Yahoo acquired for $20 million.³ Seven years later, he tried the game again with Glitch. It failed again.
