Building a startup isn't easy. So how do you keep going during the tough times?
Hear it from @grantlafontaine, CEO & Co-Founder of Whatnot in conversation with @daltoncaldwell, Partner at Y Combinator
“The great founders are frugal” Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt
“I can always tell when we’re dealing with a proper founder by how they are spending their money. Whenever I go to startups that have beautiful offices and really nice chairs, I cringe… The great founders are frugal. They understand that the money needs to be used precisely for certain areas. Many of the most successful founders begin with no salary at all… If you’re not prepared to live that, you don’t really understand what being a founder is like.”
Do you agree? Let's open a discussion in the comments
