NOTE

What look for in founders

Founders should possess four essential dimensions: science applied to technology, science applied to self, intuition applied to technology, and intuition applied to humans. Science applied to technology demonstrates engineering skills, while science applied to self reflects a mindset focused on maximizing personal potential through hard work and efficiency. Intuition applied to technology involves visionary thinking, as seen in innovative ideas that disrupt markets. Lastly, intuition applied to humans signifies effective leadership, understanding the needs and motivations of others. Founders who excel in one dimension can be competent, those with two can achieve greatness, and possessing three can lead to billion-dollar companies. To build significant enterprises, such as $10 billion or $100 billion companies, founders need to embody all four dimensions. Additionally, these qualities can be developed through a growth mindset over time, rather than being innate from the start.
