Stop Coding, Start Leading. For many first-time technical co-founders, the transition to a bigger company can be very uncomfortable. They often wrongly believe they can build features more quickly independently rather than collaborating with the team. This is a misguided perception of productivity where technical debt is accumulated in exchange for quicker delivery. This is a must-read for technical founders in their growing startup: https://andr.as/3zrzFWb

I just got back from a week away from all things Jumpstart. Here are 3x things I did to make the most of my time-off:   1/ Woke up at 4am to catch-up with emails because the #founderhustle never stops 2/ Ensured I raise 'startups' as a topic of conversation with friends & family at least once an hour to ensure I never fully switched off. 3/ Slipped business cards into the hands of unsuspecting passers-by. You never know when a potential client might be walking by. I'm obviously joking. Instead, I relaxed and spent some quality time with friends & family. The Jumpstart machine however continued to grind on in the background... And has just handpicked the top ~80 candidates from ~5000 applicants for our next cohorts across junior generalist, marketing & sales; and mid-senior software engineers. Comment below if you want to get a first peek at our top picks and/or meet the cohort week after next (w/c 18th March).

📢 An idea for Early-stage founders who is dealing with thousand of things. 🚀 You need just 3 people in your corner! 👉 A startup C-Suite guy as advisor - for fundraising, team building, strategy and decision making guidance 👉 An industry expert - to get market perspective and connections 👉 A good friend - for moral support during the rollercoaster ride As you scale, get connected with functional people in marketing, product, engineering etc. matched to your needs. That may do.

We have a few slots for non-portfolio founders for the next online "Founders Meet & Learn by Geek Ventures" on 5/23. This one will be on addressing two typical problems we see most founders encounter: 1. Too much of administrative "busywork" that they can't delegate to anyone 2. Few open positions are targeted only for highly experienced people that have significant cost Comment & DM about your startup and stage if you're interested in joining.
