Why Founders Shouldn’t Build Alone. Being a founder is lonely. That’s why the best ones surround themselves with like minded founders for feedback, shared learnings, and people rooting for their success. When one wins, everyone wins.

Building is hard enough without doing it around the wrong people. The founders who last are the ones who build alongside peers who protect their mental health: people who understand the pressure, the doubt, and the silence between wins. They’re there when things stall, and they’re there when things finally break through. Being around founders who understand the highs and the lows changes everything.

JOINING EF TO SUPPORT FOUNDERS 🚀 I’ve joined the Ethereum Foundation to help launch a new initiative called Founder Success because I’m passionate about Ethereum and the possibilities it unlocks for founders. Ethereum isn’t just technology. It’s the foundation for the next generation of products, communities, and organizations. I believe it’s the best place in the world to build, and founders are at the heart of making that future real. With Founder Success, our mission is to make sure builders have the connections, guidance, and resources they need, whether that’s fundraising, GTM, mentorship, or launching new products. Ethereum grows when we build together. 🌱

Spot on! I asked Mr Bolaji Balogun why it's harder for some founders to be trusted with millions of dollars, compared to others. He explained the WHY and shared that he'll always have time for founders like Tosin & GB because they honed their craft somewhere and understand P&L, structure, and discipline. Watch:

Strongmen are always looking out for themselves. That’s why they create inner sanctums around themselves, surrounding themselves with family members who do not give them objective feedback. We should all be concerned when leaders surround themselves with only sycophants.

Eric Schmidt: The great founders are frugal When Eric joined Google as CEO in 2001—two years after securing a $25 million Series A—he shared an office with four engineers. He even had to lend one of the founders his car when theirs broke down. In the clip below he explains why this mentality is important: “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.” He continues: “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.” Source: Startup Grind

Booker: They are thinking about setting themselves up to build epic empires of wealth never before imagined. And that’s why Trump is pardoning people who then go into business with him. That’s why Trump is trying to undermine the rule of law—to make sure he leaves office with more wealth than was ever conceivable, even to our founders.

Most founders know what to do. Few do it long enough for it to matter. Consistency isn't glamorous. It's showing up when the numbers are flat and the wins dry up. But consistency gets easier when the people around you refuse to stop. Standards are contagious. So is complacency. The room you're in determines which one wins.

Success is nothing without remembering your roots. Success is nothing if you stepped on everyone to get there. The greatest attributes the the most successful people have are being humble and remembering the struggles. To lift up those below them while remembering the ones who came first. No one is alone in their successful journey, and everyone needs to remember that. Not being complacent with success, not believing it’s owed or expecting it… That’s what the greatest people in the world are like….

After meeting with 500 exited founders. I can tell you this: Being an entrepreneur can be lonely. You don’t always connect with people the same way—you’re absorbed in your product, your ideas. Sometimes it feels like only other founders truly understand you on that level. And when you do connect with fellow founders, the exchange is different—sharing ideas, challenges, and insights accelerates your learning in a way nothing else does.
