Founders

Founder Mode is having a precise mental map of your business's details at all times, a clear vision of its future state, a constantly evolving set of transformation strategies to achieve that future, and the energy and ruthlessness to execute them.

Founder mode basics means locking in, living on caffeine, juggling flaming swords, and answering emails while showering because you’re a builder

Founder mode: leaders should be deeply involved in company operations, interacting directly with their employees at all levels rather than just with direct reports. This approach will create a cohesive company culture and more motivated employees.

founders mode is a state where everyone is involved in every aspect of farcaster.

Seems like “stop delegating”, extended version

founder mode is about to total immersion where founders stay deeply involved , balancing leadership with building. it also involves focusing on what truly matters vs

when companies grow there’s this expect that founders should delegate more, whereas performance has shown the best founders are more involved not less involved

Founder mode is being locked in, tackling everything hands-on, and enjoying the hustle of building your vision.

Founder mode: A passionate, all-consuming state where startup creators pour their hearts into their vision. It's about commitment, growth, grit, and a relentless pursuit of success. It's intense, emotional, and pivotal in the startup journey.

nice work

being able to honeymoon in Europe and still somehow ship moxie ponder integration ;)

im

page 3 was definitely A+spiffin papers. but on page 69 it cut my asshole as I was wiping. so 2-5 brownEyes at most don't believe the hype

just do it

caring less and shipping more

Remaining in a permanent state of startup mode regardless of progression of your project.

mythical mode that is great when it works and terrible when it doesn't. but you'll only find out after the fact.

micromanagement is cool again

making the world a better place for others

its a waste of time. understand founders need to lead, from first principles, and be fully aware of all the important changing factors.

Bunch of Brits fighting off other Brits bc ain’t no one eats cake and drinks tea without giving a piece to the king

don’t leave the trenches

a less-discussed but valuable method in which founders remain involved, even as the company scales

Some great /lessons here, especially the info about QuickSwap and ApeBond. The meme is also hilarious and sad at the same time.

Thats a big question especially in low liquidity coins. I don't think devs should take profit directly so early, or at least in the first year. And if they do it should be a small life maintenance amount. Just like it works in startups of real world/web2

Gm eggman happy Tuesday

Pretty good strategy, I'm afraid there will always be devs that don't follow it 😅

This. And if you need help figuring this shit out, reach out to me. Eggman and me will help (for compensation tho). Take this shit seriously, y'all have seen what else can happen :C

Gm eggsir! I love the meme and beside that it was explained clearly 🥰 I hope many ppl will think about this

Why not use your token allocation as collateral to borrow against? If you set a low enough LTV, you demonstrate trust in your project. If you don't pay back your debt, your collateral gets transferred to your lender, without dilutive event. PWN.xyz does exactly this: - custom lending terms - fixed rates - time-based liquidationj

also plz make sure projects are more than just front-end + narrative

Vested tokens are the key

Morality lessons from eggo: I love to see it. 😻

GM eggman 🫡🥚 I agree with this and its not right for devs to dump on the masses Crypto is still the wild west so people don't even care if they do shady shit... But imo this just makes crypto look bad as a whole and its what deters noobs from joining

Gm eggman! The information is highly valuable 🫶 thanks 🙏 69 $degen

I kinda like the idea and have not much better to do at the moment. So I just want to cease the opportunity in front of me.

Freedom and growth

Peace!!

freedom.

Why is the market down @kaloh

depends how long he wants to be married for

Yeah, I guess....if he's scared to do it the day before. #Boring

So long as they're only marrying one of the two possibilities in that question.

yes, if he is married to his project :)

a founder should launch their product as early as possible, if that's the earliest, then yes

definitely, you gotta get it out of the way before the wedding/honeymoon!

No, it's not advisable. Both events need full focus. Launch later or delegate.

yes ! it will change his luck

yes cuz his wife will be a builder as well and they‘ll spend their honeymoon fixing the bugs. they’ll love it

No don’t be insane

only if they are also fundraising at the same time

Never, as either one will bind time that you need so desperately at that moment

l don’t know boss

only if the rounds after suck imo. generally you want to use it to either get users through the publicity (like BD, or endusers) or hire

Nice try fed

lawyers are devils in a suit that force you to do such silly things if you’re dumb enough to hire them in the first place for a shitload of money

For real!

It’s all the regulations :(

You pause for a moment, then lean in. “Do you know Java?”

Ha ha ha. You just made me think about this cast from @itai just now. https://warpcast.com/itai/0x8c2c9176 Dev minds ✌️ 😂

so, how does the story continue? It‘s not enough to smile and have a nice moment and you know it

You’re a founder lmaoo

you’re in the trenches my dude

oh no we need the full story

Could she debug logs with you? Yes > Missed chance No > Her missed chance

she needs debugging it’s your time

It didn't countie then ?

Damn did i just read romance movie scenario?

I've recommended a few Farcaster-native projects so far that have resulted in interviews. For folks applying, I think YC cares mostly about the team, their unique insight, and proof points that you've made/can make something a small number of people really love.

heard there's a cool event planning app that's 🧨

What’s YC?

me

Didn’t @jayme do it already?

YC is interesting but the on site rule ruins it for me — expecting founders to uproot their lives for three months is a selection bias that picks mostly young, able-bodied people with no kids or family that needs care. Their dismissal of the remote batches as soon as it was no longer basically required shows they are disinterested in making it work.

Would be interested if there’s room for game studios :)

as if you didn't apply already

what's "YC"

This is wild

What do you think about this? What is his purpose in doing it? 🤔 (thinking hard)

I don’t even know what to say to this … guess he has had some ‘spare time’ away from his work tho 🙃

If he adopted 100 kids, that would be honorable .

Wait....so...this skin of Hamster Kombat (Telegram's game) is inspired in his real CEO? ..and probably the whole Hamster thing xD

everything is private. you can only see posts from mutuals and can’t tell who/how many followers another user has ZKDSN

transparency and wallet tracking

community based

once answer is polled - there would b a window to determine that you have polled an answer !

there should be some privacy - rest is wonder 😉

Integrity

Public by default. There is risk with everyone’s assets being visible all the time.

Do you believe more web2 people should be onboarded unto warpcast as they’ll also benefit from it in terms of what they are about I think i saw a cast about that today

What is GTM?

Is there demand yet?

@mcbain is helping them get on fc!

co create content, cross promotion.

when creators meet builders and become founders

By eliminating bots that atm are turning founders unreachable for everybody slower than them "Bots" I gues founders will have to find a way to be available, maybe promoting weekly meetings? Doesn't matter.

You need to devise a solution that benefits both parties, and this can vary significantly from project to project.

Alignment - there needs to be some common outcome for both parties involved (eg shipping a feature, a product marketing campaign, etc)

real curious though, pleasee let me know when you find an answer

shares would still be evaluated on the cap. discounted shares, non-dilutive down round, etc.

FAFO

And how it would be possible? Example plz ? If possible...

investor gets the company, the trailer, and the dog

End result? Probably founder led fraud

Thanks for sharing! 420 $degen

damn that's a nice offer 🤣 how much to go work there tho

Curious, how has the focus on ownership materialized in the day to day?

It will be appealed? Seems like the biggest implication would be search on mobile is now a competitive ballgame.

You try wikipedia or politico. com

you're amongst them. authenticity + passion about the space and the art side of it specially + contagious optimism. will def mention Rob Chevy Pop as well, who I had the pleasure to work with when we were building Citrus. Hope he comes back one day. Much love for him and his visions.

@yonfrula because one trippy person, and one of the only founders from ‘21 era still building actively

For me, channel content is just not good enough. Vibe is for sure important for each subgroup. There‘s a lot of solid individual channels with random good takes. /consumercrypto /founders stand out as niche with good content but most focused channels like /crypto /football aren‘t good or clean enough to dive in. Initially I had hope for /degen to find Degen plays, crypto alpha but it got the worst first through farming and later due to no more modding. I like to check /data but it‘s still very diverse content. The only ones I frequently check are /higher /degentokenbase to stay up to date with the communities and see some good insights. Select addition of quality content producers, KOLs per channel could attract more niche experts, organic discourse & growth (until certain level where modding needs to be harder). Clean channels are the ultimate superpower but require time

I think it just needs one really good public client with mods.

this bounty from @walletconnect maybe interested https://warpcast.com/linda/0xa19345c8

For sure! Check out the Farcaster Builders channel for community support and progress sharing.

>avoid planning sleep mainly

Avoid planning too much. Have a priority list instead, list 3 high priority task everyday/week & try to finish them

I try to plan slots for areas (product, sales, marketing, admin, dev). I avoid planning specific tasks.

the greater things get, the more you will have to say no. there is no shortcut. just say no.

Depends on what your objectives are. I’d say serve what your prospects want, but if you’re really driven by passion for movies and shows, do more outreach to them. My gut tells me that you’re good at what you do, the latter is pretty competitive, and that’s why you’re getting a surge in demand for music videos. 🫡

I’m not a founder but I can say to you that the best way is not reducing your actual income but grow the other one. Is not a switch thing, is a constant investment in a parallel business.
