Before I became a founder, I would criticize often. “Wow that sounds like a stupid business idea. Jesus their unit economics are bad. That seems unsustainable.” Now that I’m a founder, I think, “Props on them for putting themselves out there and creating something in this world.”
This is why I dislike people, particularly journalists, who celebrate startups failing. They hate the tech industry and startups. They hate bold people. I can’t stand it. Winners want others to win.

They don’t hate bold people. They highlight unsoundness of founders’ business decisions and a disconnect between Silicon Valley and the real world

I don’t agree. It comes from a place of jealousy and hatred of people who rock the boat.

It’s checks and balances. The criticism is warranted. It’s just that there’s never a perfect equilibrium of criticism and admiration.
