☆ The female 'founder mode' double standard
  + stars: | 2024-09-07 | by ( Melia Russell | Ben Bergman | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +9 min
From the moment Paul Graham dropped his essay on "founder mode," people online analyzed it like a stone tablet found bearing the new commandment of startupdom. But there's one group that has been privately wrestling with "founder mode" since before it had a meme-able name: female founders. Four female founders told Business Insider that a stark double standard prevents them from operating their startups as their male counterparts do. Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe Herd wrote on Instagram that she was "in founder mode for 10 years and got attacked for it every single day." But unlike female founders, he and Neumann, the WeWork founder, enjoy the luxury of being given second chances by investors.

☆ Venture debt will be big for startups in 2023 — and could break the bad habits of the boom years
  + stars: | 2023-01-03 | by ( Emilia David | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Investors say venture debt encourages founders to build rather than grow — and that's a good thing. Fundraising from venture capital is expected to slow in 2023 as the tech slowdown continues. From the third quarter of 2021 to the third quarter of 2022, startup funding from venture capital fell by 54%, to $74.5 billion from $164 billion, according to PitchBook. Without more traditional venture-capital funding, startups are increasingly turning toward venture debt, taking out three-year loans to raise capital. In their view, venture debt will break the bad habits of a generation of free-spending startups and create a new breed of companies focused on execution and market fit over blitzscaling or promising to change the world.

For her, identity verification and responsible content moderation are non-negotiable in any new social platform that she backs. "There is a sense of decline for some of these large social media platforms," Lee said.
