Founder mode, celebrated by some in Silicon Valley, champions unilateral decision-making by founders, undermining collaboration and echoing a troubling trend towards neo-authoritarianism in tech.
The rise of founder mode reflects a dangerous shift towards one-man rule, departing from the democratic roots that fostered innovation and collaboration in Silicon Valley.
In the past, Silicon Valley fostered a culture of rebellion against authoritarianism, where founders sought to empower teams and challenge the status quo, but that spirit is fading.
The support for a unilateral management style reinforces powerful individuals at the expense of collaboration, suggesting a concerning trend that could influence our political landscape.
