𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝟱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗦𝗮𝗺 𝗔𝗹𝘁𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 Most people think startup success comes from intelligence, experience, or connections. Wrong. Sam Altman, the force behind OpenAI and YC, has backed some of the best founders in the world. And he’s noticed five rare traits that separate the great from the average. 𝟭. “𝗜 𝗔𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗙𝗶𝗴𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗜𝘁 𝗢𝘂𝘁” & “𝗜 𝗡𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗚𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗨𝗽” The best founders don’t stop. Ever. They hit walls, find cracks, and break through. They’re relentlessly resourceful. When others quit, they push forward. 𝟮. 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀, 𝗨𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗸𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗳 & 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 They block out distractions and obsess over execution. They truly believe in their vision—so strongly that others start believing too. They build deep personal connections—convincing top talent, investors, and customers to join them. 𝟯. 𝗖𝗿𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹-𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 If you can’t explain your idea in 25 words or less, you don’t understand it well enough. If you can’t spread your message, you won’t get traction. 𝟰. 𝗠𝗮𝗴𝗻𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗿𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 Hiring early employees is tough. Hiring great employees is even tougher. The best founders attract top talent with their vision, energy, and conviction. 𝟱. 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗮𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗘𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗰 In the early days, founders do everything. They move fast. They execute relentlessly. They outwork everyone. The truth? If you don’t have these five traits, you won’t make it.
