Giving equity to "random people" is the fastest way to kill your startup. Too many founders dilute themselves to death by giving 10-20% equity to every skilled person they meet. Hire employees, pay them well, give stock options later when they prove themselves. Equity should be earned through sweat and commitment, not just skill.

I am just thinking that Medial is a good app. Let's crowdfund the app so the founder doesn't need to dilute the equity.

The fastest way to kill your company is by chasing lucrative opportunities. But if you can chase consumer insights - you'll be able to create something of high value.

Lol i don't know why but this just makes me laugh like really rather than focusing on upgrading themselves they are asking the company to slow down and giving stupid reasons

Giving energy to things that don't matter is the fastest way to burn out Don't scroll ❌ Don't go out ❌ Don't do... anything? ❌ Still drained. Make it make sense 🤷‍♂️
