hiring
creating impact and going after a mission is one reason to start a company. along with this i want to build a mafia/avengers of people who make solving this journey more fun and who end up doing great things after this.
i’m not interested in where you worked or where you went to school or whatever the fuck you have done/credentials you have. i will ask you a couple of questions for 10 minutes and figure out how you operate, how you think and what do you give a shit about. that is all i need to figure out if i want to work with you or not.
if you don’t fuck w any of these - we're probably not a good fit.
- ex/future founders only. you have started or want to start your own thing after this
- you're not taking this role cause you need a job or a paycheck. you want it cause you give a shit about the mission.
- extremist. you work hard and play hard.
- your life path until now has to be a slope.
- no one works for me. we all work with each other.
- we don’t give a shit about ur age or experience. if ur high agency + high ballsy + give a shit about our mission - ur good
- if you ever start a company and i don't see myself working for you - this isn't the right fit.
- openly call out anyone if they're wrong. we're here to build a generational company not play politics.
- no hierarchies.
- i would have failed at hiring if people show up not excited to work.
- screen for attitude mainly. people with the right attitude will pick up skills
- my biggest fear is if people stop leaving to start their own thing. it would suck to lose someone exceptional but if they're leaving to start their own company i feel like i hired the right person. i'd do my best to invest and help them since i owe them that.
