Such Bullshit! I am sorry but you are way over the line here.
> Founders can’t be divided into 2 categories only. Not under any generalization. You made it sound like Marvel hero/villain situation
> Money matters! A lot. That’s what drives VCs, that’s what brings best talent and keeps the business afloat. If a startup is not a NGO then it is a BUSINESS. A business in a capitalistic word aims to make money. Profit. That’s the aim. We’re not saving kitties here.
> Whoever you were describing as the founder1 IS usually the one to talk LOUD and GOOD. These people most times look down at others like they are the ultimate saviors of the world. Romantics. They don’t make sustainable businesses. 99% times these are the people that fail. And tbf, blame the system afterwards.
> The best founders are the ones who have perfect skills that match with the problem they are solving. Tech skills (if it’s a tech company) combined with Sales skills.
> Mission shouldn’t be clearly defined. It’s good to have one. Vision is better. Mission changes alongside product pivots that are neccessary.
> Also, as mentioned million times here already. Use “they”. If you really wanted to use gender-neutral term, you would’ve edited the article with “they”s already. But you won’t. Cuz.. duh
> One more thing. Leo? Seriosuly? 😃

Not everbody’s making a Tesla. And even Tesla is there to make $$$
