Graham Drops a Truth Bomb

Paul Graham, Y Combinator co-founder, ignited a firestorm in tech circles with his essay on “founder mode” versus “manager mode.”

Inspired by Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky, Graham argues that founders should remain deeply involved in their companies rather than delegating to professional managers.

This approach, he claims, preserves the unique insights and drive that made the startup successful initially.

Tech Twitter Goes Wild

The essay quickly gained traction online, spawning memes, merch, and heated discussions. Supporters praise the concept for empowering founders to trust their instincts.

Critics point out potential pitfalls, citing infamous examples like Sam Bankman-Fried and Elizabeth Holmes.

Not Just Another Buzzword

“Founder mode” resonates with Silicon Valley’s long-standing reverence for visionary leaders. However, it challenges conventional wisdom about scaling businesses.

As the debate rages on, many wonder if this concept will reshape how startups approach growth and leadership.
