One thing about start up culture that always makes me wonder is the hustle and working all the time aspect and what if anything that has to do with success. It seems more like a social cues for other people to see (investors), but not really related to the end result of a start up succeeding or failing.
I really don't think your "uber but for cleaning windows" start up is going to succeed or fail because someone spent Christmas Day pounding out some code...
It seems more like product fit and so on are the reason most startups fail, not hours put into it.
- Urahandystar 2y agoI agree, I've always felt that its something that is necessary for much younger founders who this sort of material is aimed at. They don't have the experience so have to work hard to gain that experience, older founders would be making decisions from a much more seasoned standpoint and knowing what to expect in their domain so wouldn’t or not a much. That said the cynic in me thinks it’s just a load of narcissistic clap trap that people tell themselves that it was all hard work and not their: Geography, network, Net worth that made the difference. The truth is all are going to be factors generalised as “Luck”.
