Let’s replace the world founder with small business owner.
Founder: dweeb who defaults to raising funding with little to no traction and shit model, pivots if these get hard. Wears black shoes with whit soles.
SMB owner: does ANYTHING to survive and provide. A cockroach.

Founder: stupid glamorous title that sounds great when times are booming. If it doesn’t work, job at FB!
SMB owner: you’re fuckimg livelihood. There are no bailouts. This HAS to work or my family doesn’t eat and I’ve screwed anyone who lent me money to start. This isn’t a game.

I just think more “founders” need to be cockroaches. It feels like now it’s a bunch of rich dorks playing startup and the game is over and they wanna play a diff game.
Also if you’re a VC and refer to the owner of the company that you invested in as “my founders”, you might be soft as cream cheese.
