Anonymous Founder Feedback - 2021
Published on 14 Dec 2021 ⸱ 2 min read ⸱ 48 views
In any given year, I interact with at least a thousand founders most of whom pitch to me. The founders go through a lot of preparation and iterations to perfect that pitch - besides running their business. I don't want to be an ass to the Founder - or at least it's my constant endeavour to be thoughtful in my interactions.
Some conscious efforts I make to respect your time and effort are 1. respond to every single text / call / LinkedIn message / email / tweet etc. (I actually do, especially if it's not from a reference), 2. be transparent about my evaluation process and where I'm at with it, 3. give genuine feedback when I decline a company. Unfortunately, I'm not competent to advise a founder on how she should run her business.
I'm sure there are times when I drop the ball and I want to reduce frequency of that occurring.
In an attempt to keep improving myself professionally, I'm opening up an anonymous feedback form. If you're someone that reached out to me in 2021, I request you to fill this up. It will take less than 2 mins of your time but will be invaluable to me in my growth. It's completely anonymous - I'm not secretly collecting any IP/Location data in the background.
Feel free to be as honest, critical and productive as you can.
