Is This Founder Worth Your Time?

Slow communication kills deals. Your prospects won't wait.

Evasive answers hide problems. Direct answers build trust.

Good founders respect your need for clarity. Avoidance is a red flag.

Founders who've sold understand sales challenges. Those who haven't often don't.

You'll have feedback. Defensive founders ignore it. Good ones use it.

Below-market rates signal either desperation or disrespect. Neither is good.

'Close 10 deals in week one' shows naivety. Realistic expectations mean better partnership.

Tools, leads, technical backup. Support = investment in your success.

Micromanagement signals distrust. Good founders hire experts and let them work.

Exit terms matter. Good founders plan for all outcomes, not just success.
