Arielle Zuckerberg, a general partner at Long Journey Ventures, outlined her criteria for evaluating startup founders on the podcast "Sourcery." She emphasizes the importance of charisma, referred to as "rizz," which aids in team recruitment, fundraising, and leadership. "Tiz," a concept linked to neurodiversity, highlights the unique perspectives founders can bring. Zuckerberg believes that both qualities are essential for creating successful startups. Her firm actively seeks neurodiverse founders, viewing these differences as strengths that contribute to innovation and leadership.
Rizz will open doors for you, especially if you're a founder, says Arielle Zuckerberg. This is kind of how we think about evaluating founders at Long Journey.
We believe that neurodivergence is a superpower, and we look for people that live their lives differently. It takes both rizz and tiz to be an amazing founder.
