Founders

Welcome to the first Founder's channel Office Hours!

What's on your mind?

What do you think about calm companies (see calm fund) vs blitzscaling?

VC-backed game is about growth and speed of execution. Very few exceptions here but they exist.

Bootstrapped or non-VC game is choose your own adventure. Really depends what you’re optimizing for personally.

The odds seem so much better at calm companies. Startups usually don’t work out. It’s just about the risk you’re willing to take :)

If executed correctly, there is no difference between calm and hyper-growth companies. It's like the difference between focusing and worrying

Speed and execution over everything, and I see blitzscaling as the extreme of speed + execution for startups

Honestly never heard of calm companies, like mom and pop or slow growth startups with a core mission but not insane growth potential?
