The postmortem
What lived. What died. What stayed.
- The original bet
- a different cofounder, someone who truly care about build a startup not a career
- The first warning
- their body language said it all, i just wasn't listening (i didn't want to hear it)
- Cause of death
- cofounder split. killed momentum, that killed the pipeline
- Lesson left behind
- be ultra sceptical of hidden motivations. especially in the early stage
- If we started again
- filter for motivation first. Not skills, chemistry or passion. Aggressively test that in the first 2nd meeting by being provocative.
