Shifting gears to the Hustler - this person turns the CEO's vision into action. While the CEO lays out the system, the Hustler's key role is to carry out those systems on a day-to-day basis.🏃‍♂️🛠️

Imagine the Visionary, the CEO, declares, "Our culture needs to be flat. We want interns to freely engage with C-level executives." It's then up to the Hustler to make sure this vision becomes a reality. They're the system implementor.🎯👥

In terms of titles, this person typically holds the position of the Chief Operating Officer (COO) in your company.🕴️💼

Picture this: funds are often seen as the big challenge in the startup universe. But surprise! The fund isn't actually the problem.💰🔍

The real hitch? It lies in the founders themselves, sometimes lacking in confidence. 💪🧠

If you have a solid team dynamic, the knack for articulate speech, and the ability to convey your vision convincingly to investors, the funds will follow. 🤝💼

And don't forget, there's more than investor money at play. Government grants like the "Idea Project" are also ready to back you up. 🏛💵

So, while the fund isn't the real issue, the confidence in founders might need some fine-tuning. And I'm convinced that confidence can be cultivated.

But how? How do you enhance your communication skills? How do you refine your etiquette? How do you engage an investor effectively? 🗣🍽💼

These are skills that you must hone before you step into the arena. The funds will be there once you're equipped with the right skills and knowledge.🎯💡

Step into the shoes of a co-founder and realize the power dynamics in play! 👞💼

Understanding equity distribution is a crucial part of building your startup. As an early-stage founder, you should ideally not give away more than 5-10% of your equity during an angel round.💡💼

Why, you ask? Because it's about keeping control of your brainchild, maintaining the flexibility and power to steer it in the direction you envision. 🚀🧠
Even investors recommend this, they understand that founders need their autonomy for the venture to truly thrive. They generally prefer not to take more than 10% stake in the company.💰👥

The rest of the equity? It should be split among your co-founding team, proportionate to their contributions and roles. 🤝💭

Remember, this is your journey and your team. Make sure to distribute equity in a way that reflects the unique dynamics of your startup! 🏁🎯

⚡Startling fact: a whopping 90% of startups fail. 📈 Since the dawn of the startup ecosystem, from a humble lab at MIT till 2023, this figure has remained solid as a rock.💡💭🔬

Ecosystem Builders are popping up, resources are flowing, funds are pouring in, yet the rate remains the same. 🤔 Ever pondered why? 🌐🚀💸

Nine out of ten startups are regularly crashing. Something's got to give, right? 🚧⚠️

The answer may lie closer than you think: it could be a flaw within our founding teams. 😲👥💔

Remember, understanding the problem is the first step to fixing it. 🕵️‍♀️🔍🔧
