We expect comitted founders to make the best of their constraints. This founder is doing that by putting a positive spin on their constraints in their social media posts. Fallibility is important and I hope that founder is honest with their team, but at the same time keeping a positive public narrative about your company is also important. Not everyone has to perform their growing pains in public. | ||
