If you're reading this, why? Who reads the fine print? Who clicks the asterisk?
Why?
Most skim websites. They read headlines, look at pictures, and move on. But you? You are different. You dig deeper. You ask questions. You notice things others miss.
This page is my way of rewarding that curiosity. You're demonstrating the kind of manic attention to detail that intrigues.
What We Really Look For
Beyond the criteria on our official pages, here's the unvarnished truth about what makes us want to partner with a founder:
- You're building in public: We love founders who share their journey, even the hard parts.
- You obsess over craft: Your product isn't "good enough." It's great, and you're making it better.
- You think long-term: You're not optimizing for the next round. You're building for a decade.
- You're coachable but not a pushover: You listen, but you know when to disagree.
- You read footnotes: Details matter to you.
Direct Line
You've earned a more direct path. When you apply, mention "footnotes" in your application. We'll know you're the kind of borderline manic founder we might be interested in learning more about.
