how do you handle GitLab + Kilo + all this personal work? what system have you figured out? sorry if you've written about this somewhere, i think there's a meta lesson you have that we all can use.
All of these companies (including the Even One Ventures and Open Core Ventures ones) have CEOs who run them day to day. I try to help with positioning and setting ambitious goals. Y Combinator really opened my eyes to how helpful setting clear and hard to reach goals is.
thanks Sid! i think a lot of people incl myself aspire to be where you are - I have effectively 3 businesses and have only hired one GM (on track to be CEO), but the other 2 I am effectively CEOing. yet I have this maybe misguided asian/protestant theory that I haven't "earned the right" to multicompany yet, and if i take my hands off the wheel the whole thing might be at risk. With GitLab obviously you were driving for many years and it feels like only with your cancer diagnosis you started letting go.
no question in there, just a comment, love your openness and giving back to the community, wish you full success and recovery.
