I would experience some social anxiety mixed with generally feeling overwhelmed by my own internal scorecarding and thoughts of, “Am I networking enough?” There’s just so much community and learning-by-osmosis (or serendipity) that comes from being together. In the past, these would always trip me up. Working with founders.

As a venture funded startup, you’re supposed to operate a certain way. Most people who want to build something independently make this trade-off: they give off pieces of independence to access to the capital and networks that venture capital can provide. What if we gave those who didn’t fit the traditional mold to the networks we had?

I think the same goes for startup entrepreneurialism. Don recommends: Don’t just do startups “for us”. I know we romanticize the LGBT entrepreneur making an app for the LGBT community, but too many of our ideas are “ghettoized” and not seen as “big ideas”. Avoid being labeled as startup from a “special group” program.
