Management, management, management! Do they a have a proven history of success? If it's the founder, does he/she look like they can get shit done? I don't mean are they smart, do they have Ph.Ds, but are they focused and do they finish things?
- sreitshamer 17y agoFirst-time entrepreneurs are OK too, if they can prove they have determination (can finish things). But make sure their ideas about "company culture" mesh with yours. Company culture starts at the top.
- huhtenberg 17y agoI'll give an counter-example. A local company here in Vancouver, Canada that services real-estate market. Not a very big one, but probably not a start-up either. Basically an office suite for a real-estate agents with the hook-up into MLS. Excellent management, astounding sales, absolutely and utterly fucked up development. I know several people who worked for them in different capacities, and all of them were basically ashamed of the quality of the product, but always said the goal was to produce something that sales could sell. So, yeah, there was a founder who can get the shit done. But he didn't see quality product development as a priority :)
- biohacker42 17y agoThat's absolutely true. Obviously I was speaking from the view point of a semi decent developer :)
