Financial freedom. What if I told you there were people with special needs who can and should be able to live a full life where they can fully participate in their own financial lives? What if I told you that wasn’t just a big mission - that it was a profitable business and one of the only profitable neobanks?
Today we’re sitting down with my friend and YC/Initialized founder Kai Stinchcombe - he’s the founder and CEO of True Link Financial.
Today, he shares the lessons he learned the hard way, so you don’t have to.

DROWN
drowning-in-email-is-the-first-sign-you
If you're too busy to answer email then that's the first sign you aren't scaling. Here's what you need to do get out of that mess.
Surprisingly what got you here won't get you there. You need to be open and creative early on, but at some point every startup switches over to a focus on scaling and conscientiousness.
The link to the 2004 Bucknell Study is here — it turns out openness is anti-correlated with long term startup success, while conscientiousness predictably is positively correlated.
