hello fc founders :) what are the biggest struggles you faced early on in your founder journey? what resources were the most precious and valuable, yet hard to find? what is magical about fc that makes it easier to be a founder?

One of the most scarce resources was blunt feedback. So hard to get people that will just tell you like it is.

That's interesting - I've seen a lot of founders comment on how blunt some feedback from VCs could be but maybe they just have the loudest voices since they're complaining. Did you feel like you were surrounded by "yes people" while building at the beginning?

We'd get a lot of "yes" and positive things, but it wasn't backed by action and often turned into radio silence. I would have loved to get some clear "no" along with any kind of "why" attached to it. The amount of (professional) ghosting that happens in this space is mindboggling. Never seen it in other industries.

That's unfortunate to hear! Why do you think ghosting is so commonplace here compared to other industries - potentially because of the grassroots development of the crypto ecosystem from a group of folks mainly living on the fringe?

I don't have a theory. Initially I thought maybe because it's sort of anti-establishment and all that but even people with professional backgrounds have been well beyond average in failing to just say no.
