To be a successful founder or CEO you have to grow a startup support system (a Mafia) around your startup. An active network of other entrepreneurs, investors, experts, can lead to opportunities for the company and mutually-supported survival when you really need it. You have to give before you get. Giving back to the startup community rises the tide for all boats in the long run. The wider the network, the better the CEO/Founder, the better off the company and its team.
