Dear founders. Still want to play victim card???

While people jost the jobs, founders will enjoy their vacations in Maldives. Don't worry India me bhi yahi hone wala hai abhi 70hrs ka demand hoga, jab startup bankruptcy file karenge tab founders massive cash deposits ke sath vacations pe jayenge, buy big houses and mercedes. And later blame the people because we didn't put 70hrs enough.

One founder doesn't speak for all founders though. These tactics aren't long term sustainable either. If his current startup fails again, he will find it almost impossible to raise again.

Successful founders raise and build on the back of previous company success, not personal success.

I know, and if his current endeavours don't lead to good value creation he won't be able to raise again.
