What are some of the characteristics / qualities of a good founder? I am talking to a small tech business and planning to make investments as angel investor. New to this world, but been in the tech for 25 years. Basically I am trying to figure out what qualities should I look for in a founder?

We spoke to 200+ talents at Big tech (FAANMGS) and we were shocked about what we learned. Contrary to what people think; the product engineering folks are not that busy.

Meanwhile, the early-stage fast-growing Startups we are speaking with are desperate to work with Silicon Valley FAANG experts to help them build better, and launch faster.

Are there founders out here who are looking to talk to us?

I co-founded a startup a few months ago and we’ve been trying to raise for pre-seed (currently have a working prototype and need funding to build full MVP). I’ve been focused on making real connections, and it’s been great getting to know founders and VCs on a personal level (+got helpful feedback), but not much luck for funding. Do you just play the numbers game and contact as many VCs as possible until a smaller lesser-known VC is interested?

I just made the decision to leave a company that did not align with my values. I was honest with myself, the company, and their future best interests by giving until the new year to find a replacement person. I had a very big bonus on the line, but personally refused to accept people in authority publicly addressing and mocking a department as the 'Special Olympics' (with legit autism & insane skills), among other extremely sexist & inappropriate comments. Do they have a right to withhold bonus?

Hey all👋, I am seeking advice regarding mental health + work. I dissolved my first start-up in Dec, and just launched my new one in Feb - but I’m experiencing a little burn out while trying to juggle it with my 9-5 job. Has anyone ever experienced burn out right after launching something and needed to take a step back? If so how did you communicate that to the individuals who were working with you? And how did you accept that taking a step back was for the best?
