What's it about?

Popularised by Y Combinator co-founder Paul Graham, “founder mode” refers to a hands-on, agile style of leadership instead of relying on rigid top-down structures. Embracing this approach fosters relentless focus, encourages swift pivots, and builds a resilient culture. In this collection, you’ll learn how to stay deeply involved in day-to-day operations, seize opportunities as they arise, and unite your team around a shared vision.
