Founder traits 1 min read
an opportunist or an idealist would make a good founder.
but the best founders are the ones who can maintain (opportunistic & idealistic) at the same time.
steve jobs & bill gates are both opportunistic & idealistic.
one side might a bit more than the other:
jobs might be more idealistic;
while gates might be more opportunistic.
but for someone who is neither opportunistic nor idealistic
— I don’t think this will make a good founder.
this is still a hypothesis that requires the test of time,
but as for now this is what I currently believe.
