on Tuesday. "Y'all see it on Instagram and you certainly see it in the startup community, and it becomes really toxic." In particular, Ohanian says entrepreneurs who start their own companies brag publicly about their long hours. "We see this play out, most toxically, among founders, who are already sort of emotionally broken. All of us who decide to start a company, we are kind of broken as people. And so when so much of your identity is wrapped up in your company already and you already feel so much pressure," says Ohanian.
