The official recommendations to sailors is: Shut off the engine, take down the sails, make no sound, wait.
What sailors will admit they do but not tell anyone: Dump a bit of diesel or petrol in the water around the boat to scare away the orcas.
There are also some new gadgets available to make high pitched sounds that humans can't hear but scare away orcas (and dolphins, unfortunately) but no idea if they work well.
Am going through EOS for my business and look forward getting a bit more out of day to day.
CEO: Work on the business, in the market.
COO: Work on the organisation, in the business.
Being a founder/CEO is not that special btw. I think you'd go further in life and business if you don't buy into the idea that your job and skill set is unique and special. (A lot of professions have this subculture, not just founders.)
My experience: Psychological orphans with a basic income.
"Psychological orphans" i.e. kids who had shitty parents and learned to adapt to survive. Then this behavior became a habit and a game.
"Basic income" i.e. kids from middle and upper middle class backgrounds so there was no food poverty in the family and long term thinking was possible by the kid, even in the context of the dysfunctional setting.
The above is true for me and all of the high growth tech founders I know on a very personal level (could be selection bias in who I connect deeply with though).
Hope so! My fiancee is definitely super mature, only 24 years old but had to support her family (while studying) after her father died at 17 years old. She's completely onboard with us deciding what is fair in what scenario rather than outsourcing it to some parliament and court system somewhere.
Timely post as just today I got engaged to my girlfriend. We will definitely go for a prenup, I want to avoid a 15 year long divorce battle like my parents had at all possible costs.
An investor buying $200K preferred equity at 5 million pre is not implying that investor would buy the entire company for 5 million cash. The preferred equity makes high valuations possible as the first $200K goes back to the investor.
Do your own thing on the side. Much better than a few stock options. But make sure to have your project excluded in your IP and non-compete contracts with your employer.
I love how everybody in Silicon Valley claims ideas don't matter, only execution does, then hate on the company that is taking that maxim to its ultimate conclusion.
I don't see airbnb or IMDB being down. If there's some advice on what small time apps (like mine) can do to get thing up again sooner, please let me know.
