you can do it quietly, or build in public and tell the world

Start-ups fail for many reasons, of which Fast obviously was not immune
But decisions made that lead to this outcome which I take responsibility for
But one thing I am 100% certain that we did right was hire truly incredible people 👇

Request for startup:
I'm both a founder & a very proud dad to 2 young kids (2/4).
I am bullish on a completely new model of education for kids.

recipe for a SUCCESSFUL startup:
1. build a great team
2. great team builds a great product/service
3. great team sells that great product/service to lots of customers
if you can simultaneously build a strong community, all three are easier and you 🚀

Best things about building a startup:
- anyone can do it
- you don’t need permission
- it’s easy to start
- cheap to start and build an mvp
- unlimited upside
- tools like

give everyone a voice and ability to build a community

Some people work remote, some work in an office.
Some companies raise VC, some bootstrap.
Some people work 40 hours a week, some work 70.
None of these things dictate success, they are just different levers to pull.

Yes the CEO gets on chat.
Yes the CEO chats to sellers and buyers.
Yes the CEO still prospects on LinkedIn.
And the CEO reads every seller request and all social posts and notifications and DM’s.
The CEO is just one of the team, never forget that as the CEO.

In startups your team is everything. So dont outsource the hiring, do the hard work to source, sell to, interview and vet every single early employee.
If you arent prepared to do that, I fear for you ^

I cannot over-emphasize the value of angel investors.
Some of
@fast
biggest supporters are angels, who have referred employees, intro'd to clients, helped interview, consulted, or are on-call for help as needed.
I happily take angel checks as small as $5k as their value is 10x.

want to build a big business?
solve discovery for users:
• match talent to companies, + reverse
• match investors to startups, + reverse
• match products to consumers
BUT, it must make real matches for the users
