The following is a recent post, republished with his permission. In it, Nemetz explains why founders calling startups their 'baby' makes them overly attached and resistant to change. After selling my first company, something disorienting started happening. As I thought about what to do next, I took a lot of meetings. Caught up with people in my network. Had exploratory conversations. We'd start with small talk focused on the recent acquisition. I didn't stay long after the deal closed. After experiencing the arrival fallacy, I needed a mental break.
