Founders

I interned for David Rose back in the day, who was head of the NY Angels at the time and founder of gust.com

This was one of the more important frameworks he taught us.

is this/he saying that awful ideas no matter how brilliant the execution can't succeed? so at minimum the idea must be so-so?

Actually his first point was that ideas in a vacuum are worthless. He was pushing back against that idea that a startup founder should get equity for an “Idea”.

But I think that’s a fair secondary point.

I did not, that's actually kind of fascinating. He's kind of the reason I got into Quora, which is kind of the reason I love building Ponder

100% on no equity just for being the "idea guy" with no work or financing

btw, you know david rose is now kinda investing in web3?
