Great article -- The highlight on Medium bears repeating:
"People who have a bug for starting projects, creating side-hustles, and seeing them through, are much more likely to start massively successful companies than those with shiny resumes or experience of having worked in leadership roles at large companies but lack a bug for building."
The bug for building is the special sauce.
Absolutely. I have witnessed many times successful executives from large companies, who are attracted by the idea and romance of being in startups, try and fail because they lack the core attributes needed.
This validates our focus on founders who have had at least one trip around the block previously.
