"... in the US you have to talk a lot of bullshit. No matter what your company looks like, you have to talk as if it’s the next Facebook. You have to pretend you’re a Unicorn even when you know you’re not. I never once met a founder that when asked, “how are things going?” could give me an honest answer. Everyone is killing it, smashing it and blowing shit up. "
