Eric Siu explains founder mode: keeping control as a founder, minimizing investor and board influence, and treating your business like an art form. The best results come from focusing on your own vision rather than outside voices.

People talk about founder mode. I would classify the situation you have and even mine too, where you have the lion's share of the control. You're not at the whim of other investors, your board, or maybe other stakeholders trying to take control and trying to influence you. There's artists out there, his art's just amazing. I'm like, who do you follow as an artist? He's like, oh, I don't follow anybody. I was like, what do you mean? He's like, because I don't wanna be influenced by other people's aesthetic style, like all those things. So I do believe that also applies to entrepreneurship 'cause I do think entrepreneurship is a form of art. And I think the less outside influences you have and you just focus on what you know, and what you believe, the better results you're going to get. And this is a good example of founder mode.
