That seems a little disingenuous though. If anything as a founder the cultural imperative is even stronger - you need to relate with and connect with customers first and foremost, and potentially investors and employees down the road. In general, being an entrepreneur almost always involves a huge amount of "networking hustle," where "culture fit" can really help or hurt your chances of having doors open.
- pdonis 8y agoWhatever culture you create has to take into account that your business has to serve its customers, of course; without that you don't have a business. But it seems like there is a lot of room for cultures that serve customers without having to be "decoded" the way the article describes, such that people from certain types of backgrounds are implicitly favored.
