The mindset of 'we'll figure it out' is essential among early startup team members, as startups often face dynamic and unpredictable situations.

I believe in being honest with my team during tough times; involving them in decisions helps get the best ideas and buy-in, even when half the team doubts the project.

Being part of a team that trusts each other and feels treated fairly is essential for survival in a startup environment, rather than being a distraction from it.

Despite the ups and downs, I believe that tenacity is key to overcoming challenges in the startup world.

Good startup employees want honesty and transparency about the company's situation. They understand the challenges and want to know how they can contribute to improving outcomes.

The internal belief, determination, and spirit of optimism within a startup's team are vital; they must be committed to overcoming challenges and finding solutions despite external skepticism, especially when facing difficulties.

I often face situations where I've never encountered the challenge before, but I trust that my team and I can figure it out together.

I seek founders who are relentlessly resourceful, as this trait is crucial for overcoming challenges in the startup journey.

Startups often win by moving quickly, as they rarely have enough data or time to deliberate, so team members must be willing to act with limited information.
