Marc Andreessen has seen this for decades. When tech is booming, many jump inโnot to build, but to ๐ฅ๐จ๐จ๐ค ๐ข๐ฆ๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐๐ง๐ญ. They read all the books, craft a perfect pitch, and sound impressive. But when the market crashes, they disappearโback to McKinsey, Goldman Sachs, or other high-status jobs. So, how do you ๐ฌ๐๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ ๐ซ๐๐๐ฅ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐๐ซ๐ฌ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ค๐๐ฌ? ๐๐๐ธ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐น๐. Andreessen uses a simple trickโkeep asking deeper questions. Fake founders struggle. Their answers get vague, their logic falls apart, and itโs clear they donโt truly understand what theyโre building. Real founders? ๐๐ก๐๐ฒ ๐ญ๐ก๐ซ๐ข๐ฏ๐ ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐๐ซ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ซ๐.

They donโt just talk big; they know every detail of making it real. This test works because ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐๐ซ๐ฌ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฏ๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ข๐ซ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ฉ.
