Founder mode in tech:

- Don’t just hand things off—get into the details that really count.
- Use your product like a customer, not just the CEO.
- Test your assumptions with real data, not just gut feelings.
- Listen to those who disagree—they’ll show you what you’re missing.
- Scaling your product isn’t the same as scaling your team—keep that in mind.
- Stay focused on product-market fit, not just growth numbers.

These principles can be applied to blockchain projects too. Founders should immerse themselves in their product's user experience and validate assumptions with data, not just intuition.
