Founders are strong devs...but poor executives and company builders, company can probably succeed in spite of that
Pros
-Tremendous market opportunity (ecomm x automation x no-code). -Team can ship product really quickly -Talented employees esp. eng/design/prod team -Flexible schedule/good work/life balance
Cons
-Founders weren't always honest (eg. # of paying customers and QA'd workflows, feedback given in one on ones, etc.). -Founders didn't figure out PMF or ICP before handing off sales to other employees. -Impetuousness (e.g. firing people without warning, losing deals because of timelines that weren't met/not QA'd, badmouthing employees who left the company). -Founders are immature/poor leaders. Even accounting for founders' age (~21 and ~23) leadership/management was unimpressive, callous, and often felt reactive instead of proactive. Didn't feel like they care about their employees. -Impressive investors who were pretty much useless from an intro/BD perspective. Buzzy names are neat, but people who will actually use the product or make intros are more important IMO.
