signulll: VC-backed founders should be 100x more ambitious and risk-seeking than they think
signulll · x · 2026-09-29
Serial founder signulll argues VC-backed founders should be far more ambitious and risk-seeking than their instincts suggest. The brain naturally takes the 'next logical step', which lands founders at 10x — but 10x is still likely just an extrapolation of existing trends. To end up genuinely far ahead, he says, you must think 100x while keeping the work familiar and relatable, calling it a difficult multi-dimensional problem he has repeatedly failed at himself.
