Is that I’m currently in training on how to do a startup. Yes, me of all people.
Who would’ve figured that of all my friends I’d be the one pursuing the capitalist dream?
Some notes:
- Mentors frequently mention stuff like “you could make a nice little business here, and that’s okay.” if you don’t want to ask for venture capital. Their version of a nice little business – millions of dollars of profits a year.
- A culture of scalability means a culture of cutting labor costs (hiring as few people) as much as possible.
- As far as I can tell, many mentors, though old white rich men, are also Democrats. Some even contribute/fundraise for campaigns. Strange but cool!
