If you've ever worked in the startup space on an advanced technical product/team, don't waste your time here. After telling the CEO about the dozens of products I've build in my 6 years in the DTC commerce space, he said "so you've never actually built anything new". I assume he means I've only ever "iterated" or built features for existing products and visions. Well, if I had built something "new" I'd be the CEO of that product, not working for someone else. After he denied me he tried to connect with me on LinkedIn.
