Founder Mode - Finding the Balance

In "Founder Mode: A Balanced Approach," Vici and Alex explore "Founder Mode," a leadership style where founders remain deeply involved in their companies as they scale. They discuss its advantages—maintaining vision, culture, and agility—and its risks, such as burnout and bottlenecks. Drawing on examples like Elon Musk and Brian Chesky, Vici explains the balance required to succeed in this high-stakes approach. The conversation likens this journey to the mythical Unicarus, emphasizing the need to balance ambition with caution while preserving a company’s soul during growth.
