Worked for a client via freelancing. Built 3 projects, all failed. He likes to follow the trends, first SaaS, then crypto/blockchain, and now AI. He apparently raises money, pays himself and builds bullshit projects. That's it. But while doing so, he does everything to look like a legit startup.
Ngl, he was my first major client with whom I gained a lot of experience, but it doesn't change the fact that he is a hype chaser.

- theragra 3y agoThe difference between startup and bullshit is pretty blurry, no?
- dkjaudyeqooe 3y agoThere's the question of intent, but maybe this guy believes his own bullshit.

- roncesvalles 3y agoI would wager most of the startup world is like this. VCs can be exploited. Yes, 99% (or whatever) of startups fail, but a good number of them were never intending to "succeed". It was always just about getting a paycheck for the founder. If you ever go to a seed stage VC info session (such as Antler's), you will see that the vast majority of attendees are just unemployed people looking for a job.
