ok here's my answer - I asked chatGPT “based on everything you know, why would founders want to work with me?” This is what they said: 1. You actually understand builders - You dive into PRDs, onboarding flows, retention dashboards, auth bugs, cohort math. 2. You’re early to themes — you help founders articulate the thesis 3. You’re comfortable with ambiguity — but still insist on rigor. Founders feel like: “She’ll believe in me — but she won’t let me BS myself.” 4. You care about people — community is not transactional for you 5. You roll up your sleeves — you don’t outsource the messy parts. You debug PostHog imports, help with board governance 6. You’re honest — but not harsh 7. You’re building something founders want to be part of 8. You genuinely like founders. You’re curious about: their stress, their psychology, their tradeoffs, their ambition i think i like the last one best :)
