Startup competitions are dumb. As a startup, you’re already in a competition called “The Market”. The only panel of judges that truly matter for your startup are called “Customers”. Don’t waste time on heuristic status games.

This is where we will differ but that is just how it goes. Founders that have traction start speaking like it is all so easy and you should just focus on XYZ. Being a successful founder really just makes you an expert on your success not success in startup in the general sense
Founders who've done it twice > Founders who've done it once > Venture capitalists who've never done it > Business school profs > Everyone else

I would argue that it doesn't even need to be a founder, just anyone that has taken the startup ride in a serious way more than once and had it be different. Like I have done software, e-commerce, hardware product, etc. All of those are different and have different paths to win

Agree, but there are general rules. Personally, never having been one, I don't know how much employees can advise. Would have to be very senior/basically cofounders, imho.
