You don’t have boundaries
You’re trying to take it in a stride and simply vent about it, but this should be something completely benign.
“Awie, Mr. Entrepreneur can’t focus on things that matter because literally everyone in your company told you your thing doesn’t matter?”
They told you they weren’t interested. You keep trying to do your personality cult employee mindset talk to the wrong people. You don’t know other people, this is a you problem. None of those sacrifices should have been forced on those particular people. In your standard, any entrepreneurial endeavor is worth pursuing by merely being entrepreneurial, which is not true.
The harder pill for you to swallow is that this game is actually not available to people that aren’t rich, it’s all an illusion. Congratulations on raising some capital, that structure is real! But the idea that everyone can build something scrappy and take sacrifices if they just get out of an employee mindset is fiction. The people you fawn over were able to do their own seed rounds and just pretend they were taking sacrifices even if they didn’t.
- chankstein38 3y agoYeah the whole "I told him he has an employee mindset" like bro that's because you took an employee (who fought to receive a salary) and "convinced him" to be a cofounder. He's still just an employee just because you gave him a shiny new title and shares (in something that sounds like a sinking ship) doesn't mean suddenly he's not going to think like an employee.
- jacamera 3y agoDefine "rich." Have you been working in a coal mine since you emerged from the womb or did you maybe have a few things provided for you at some point in your life?
- yieldcrv 3y agothere is a class system, it comes with a support system. I quantified what that support system was while you want to split hairs over the specific word used, an answer that requires a whole dissertation in lieu of a simple word that conveys a shared concept. The support system requires being able to close your own seed round and be unemployed, and having friends in your network in the same situation.
- codegeek 3y ago"game is actually not available to people that aren’t rich" I was with you until this comment. Yes it is easier if you are rich but plenty of examples where people find a way to start a company without being rich.
- yieldcrv 3y agostruck a cord with this crowd huh. it wasn't an absolute and I immediately pointed out them raising [some] capital was real and available to them because they are also an example. and it wasn't about starting a company, it was about doing what OP did which was playing the venture capital game. anyone can start a company, it takes $100 in the right state. I think the point was clear but let me know if it wasn't, to you.
