Really depends on a lot of factors, but majority of businesses rarely need a “startup” vibe after reaching scale. Clearly there are exceptions, though all founders die at some point and waiting until they do is rarely best option for the company.
- auggierose 4y agoHow many startups make it longer than their founders?
- O__________O 4y agoFew at scale. Likely most notable example is Apple, especially since Apple brands itself as being innovative.
- qprofyeh 4y agoDefinitely. If founders recognize that they’re no longer able to see the company from a unique perspective, or simply aren’t there most of the week, they should arguably move to an advisor/shareholder role where they’re still inspiring but passively so. Although that’s not always an option granted by investors, is it?
