VC Finds Founders for Its Ideas

I will be the first to tell you that I don&#x27;t think I&#x27;m qualified yet to have an opinion. However, I think this is a horrible idea.<p>&gt; Struck and his colleagues–CTO and co-founder of Resy Michael Montero and Tom Ryan, CEO of streaming at Paramount–wanted to create a company for risk-averse executives. In Struck’s view, these executives present the profiles they are looking for in a founder. In return, his company will offer them 50% of the startup.<p>I&#x27;m not bought into the idea an artificial founder that identifies as &quot;risk-averse&quot; is a better bet than what I imagine to be a plethora of organic ideas from &quot;true&quot; founders.<p>I&#x27;d love to be convinced otherwise.
