That's a great idea, would love that. What founder with experience has a good enough style/personality for this to work? Jobs sounds like he would be perfect for this, he loved berating people. But who could do the job today? Most founders today are too vanilla for it be interesting, at least their public persona.

Just imagine how pissed Gordon Ramsay would be watching people wasting piles of money that could have comfortably started up multiple restaurants

"Yeah, so things started going south a little after we collected 2 mil in our series A.."

Do you think he’s so stupid that he would rant about that? It’s like having him critique spending $200 million on a massive solar project. That could buy a lot of restaurants, but do we need more restaurants?

I think it has to be somebody British. Somehow a British accent is associated with a particular sort of nitpicky but fundamentalist right perfectionism, and also non-threatening enough that it isn’t too awkward to watch harsh criticism occur.

Like imagine if The Weakest Link lady had had a midwestern accent or something, it wouldn’t have become a thing.
