The Mitochondria in Startups

[jprince]

Or, "How to hire people who will slavishly work 100 hours a week for a 40 hour/week wage."

[throwaway_xx9]

When investors or founders talk about "values", they don't mean the same thing that a normal human being would think.

They mean "doing what I want them to do to make more money."

Let me know if you find that definition in the dictionary.

[dang]

Sometimes they really do mean it. Not everything is a cynical ploy.

Don't hire people who won't work themselves to death to line a VCs pocket! Hire the poor misguided mitochondria.
