The differences between young and mature founders, offering insights into various aspects of building, scaling, financing, and taking a company public, drawing from the experiences of Lyron Bentovim, CEO of The Glimpse Group.
What would you say is the main difference of let's say starting a company at that such young age versus maybe in your 40s or 50s like you've been able to experience now with Glimpse? >> It's kind of when you start a company when you're young, you've got a lot of enthusiasm, you've got a lot of energy, you're running around, but you haven't seen a lot of the world. You haven't seen it all play out and you're eager to kind of push things forward at a totally different pace than how you do things where you're more mature. you're taking setbacks differently kind of you're not seeing them as kind of basically life-changing but more of a hurdle to pass around. Uh you're basically taking uh no differently kind of when some someone says no you uh try and figure out kind of how to work around it. You also kind of look at the business uh differently in terms of your willingness to pivot. Uh,
and I see it a lot with younger founders where they they've got kind of what they figure out is their kind of dream of what they want to build and they set up doing it and they don't have the willingness or the uh ability to almost look from a different lens at what they're doing and say, you know what, maybe I should pivot a little bit to kind of adjust and align my vision with what the kind of what the world's telling me. Uh so I think when you're more mature uh you're kind of you're dealing with situations in a different way and getting to uh to be more creative in in in resolving challenges.
