What we're seeing here is exactly the sort of executive immaturity/arrogance that gets SO MANY startups in trouble.
Young men/aspiring founders: for the love of god understand that your investors are NOT the whole picture when it comes to leadership. You need to find yourself a graybeard/executive coach and pay them out the ass to tell you about things like:
- Rapport-building
- Professional development
- Values
- Adaptability
- Brand reputation/equity
- Tone > message
- Prioritization
- Candor
- Empathy
- Ethics
- Humility
- Accepting feedback
- Understanding second- and third-order effects
