James Sinclair tells founders to stop posting performative content on social media. Investors expect you to put your head down and build, not flex online. Focus on customers, learning, and recruiting instead.

Next level. You're not a founder, you're not a brand owner, you're not a business owner. You're nothing. You're just a loser. That you.
Are a red flag founder. Congratulations on raising a couple hundred K. No small feat. I wish you continued success. We're all going to see it play out on TikTok, but the reality is to come on this app where people are looking at you for perhaps advice or learning or knowledge or cheat codes and tell people if they're not willing to be uber cringe, they are losers. They're nothing. They're not founders. Not only is wrong, you are a charlatan and you're giving bad advice. And what it also shows is you are more focused on trying to flex as yourself, the startup CEO who's raised some money, who's got all this knowledge, who knows everything when you obviously know nothing. The reason your investors gave you money is for you to put your head down and work and drive a creative value to your business. Everything you should be doing right now should be driving your business forward, driving goodwill, customers, learning, community, understanding, recruiting, every single action. But you've chosen instead to take an action on just insulting people. Good luck.
