Someone asked what's the most underappreciated quality in startup founders. I realized I could answer this by asking what's the most underappreciated aspect of startups. That's easy: how hard they are. So the most underappreciated quality in founders is sheer toughness.

Super grateful for @aahf_sa and @Dar_nora_art to support the arts in the region alongside @colabswork to bring regional art, culture and creativity!! Big things to come ahead!
