Good point. It was initially because of their network that I thought would be super valuable. It's in a niche-y industry where I took a chance on an enthusiastic college kid, I guess. (I'm where I am today because people took a chance on me in college!)
They were pretty well-connected in a way that I thought would pan out well, but it just didn't end up working out that way.
- constantcrying 2y agoMaybe I am just from a different culture, but the thought of betting my professional future on someone who is currently going through the most unstable phase of his life seems very strange to me. I also have a hard time believing that someone who has zero professional relationships can even have the kind networks valuable for a startup. If his connections aren't professional, what are they. Romantic? Familiar? Friendships?
