As a founder, my role is to drive clarity on what we're building and to create an organization that empowers others to contribute to that vision.

As a company grows, the role of the founder changes significantly. You start by doing everything yourself, but eventually, you need to hire people, managers, and executives while maintaining the company culture.

My role evolved from being hands-on in the early days to focusing on hiring and maintaining company direction as we scaled.

As a founder, my job is to create a return on investment for my team, ensuring they feel their time and efforts are valued and impactful.

As CEO, I've transitioned from being a micromanager to learning to delegate, focusing on being a culture carrier and making tough philosophical decisions.

As your company grows, your main job shifts from building a great product to building a great company, which is a significant transition for founders.

As a startup grows, the founder must transition from focusing solely on the product to also managing the company, which requires different skills.

The role of a founder has evolved; founders are no longer just employees of venture capitalists, but must take control of their vision and direction.

Having gone through significant personal and professional challenges, I now see my role as a coach to help the next generation of founders build impactful products.
