“I’m looking for founders who have researched the market, competition, and have holistically understood the problem they're trying to solve. Founders that are confident, detail oriented, good communicators and good networkers. A go-getter with determination and drive, walk in the door and in 2-5 years be 10x more advanced than when they came in“
Remember, everything that you do shows evidence of the type of person you are. Be clear on your business, articulate your business and mission, and what goals you want to accomplish.
