When tech is booming, many jump in—not to build, but to š„šØšØš¤ š¢š¦š©šØš«š­ššš§š­. They read all the books, craft a perfect pitch, and sound impressive. But when the market crashes, they disappear—back to McKinsey, Goldman Sachs, or other high-status jobs. So, how do you š¬šžš©ššš«ššš­šž š«šžššš„ šŸšØš®š§ššžš«š¬ šŸš«šØš¦ š­š”šž šŸššš¤šžš¬? š—”š˜€š—ø š—³š—¼š—æ š—±š—²š˜š—®š—¶š—¹š˜€. Andreessen uses a simple trick—keep asking deeper questions. Fake founders struggle. Their answers get vague, their logic falls apart, and it’s clear they don’t truly understand what they’re building. Real founders? š“š”šžš² š­š”š«š¢šÆšž š®š§ššžš« š©š«šžš¬š¬š®š«šž.

The more you ask, the sharper and more confident their answers get. They don’t just talk big; they know every detail of making it real. This test works because š­š«š®šž šŸšØš®š§ššžš«š¬ š„š¢šÆšž ššš§š š›š«šžššš­š”šž š­š”šžš¢š« š¬š­ššš«š­š®š©. They’ve built prototypes, solved real problems, and can explain every step without hesitation. Next time you meet a founder, š­šžš¬š­ š­š”šžš¦. Dig deeper.
