Here is what a founder looks like
I found this picture on the wall of an office. It is essentially a startup founder personified — jumping into the wide open space, with nary a thought about the results.

scary but true
you see a jump? i see a founder, ideas, and a startup taking flight.
That looks like Seth Godin!
Any startup founder who jumps “with nary a thought about the results” these days is an idiot. Today, you better not jump until you validate your assumptions, create a business model and be ready to pivot. Being a founder isn’t about taking risk, it’s about managing risk while developing a sustainable business model.
That gap looks way too narrow :).
