Thanks for the response.
Can you really make a tool that works for different platforms? Won't the abstractions always leak?
How has your company built a good remote/distributed culture? And where has it failed?
I realized when I posted here that I wanted to be upfront with all the tips not being completely "healthy." I lot of times the think a myopic focus is needed to be able to excel, but also the thing that drives people lonely, insane or sad.

Yeah! I never liked cameras in the house.

I find that most people just don't get through a long read article and that many critique that they are not getting concrete advice.

How would you prefer that the article was structured - would love feedback?

Thanks for posting Martin.
I quit my job once when I realized I was no longer afraid of being called out :D
I would say it never goes away. I have built companies, angel invested, ran M&A. Still, I always think I am clueless.

I am starting to view it more as a power. "You cannot learn what you already think you know". Having imposter's syndrome means I always will fight harder to get better.

I agree with you, of course ALL investors prefer companies to "burn out than to fade away."

BUT - at the same time all cultures have their issues. I think the Nordics are "punching above their weight" statistically. But at the same time, we are held back by honestly a fear of "beeing seen."

I have no problem with founders aiming for building stable good lifestyle companies or even consultancy shops. But then they should say that. If they are raising money, then by god they have to play the investor game.

No, I agree. The Nordics is swinging above its weight.

But I think all cultures have their reasons to not create more amazing things. The Nordics have a lot of investors preferring safe returns, and therefore perhaps the same within the entrepreneur communinuty.

Thanks :)

I didn't want to write a research post. It was actually a rant turned into a post. I was really tired of asking "so, why are you actually doing this company?".
