"I go for the big themes. Is the founder curious? Is the founder open so that you can have a dialogue?" @HaddockBeth of @StablecoinStnd evaluates every founder before she'll advise them on stablecoin policy and governance. "Does the founder either know that this is their blind spot and that's why they want someone with a policy background there, or is an outside constituency making them get an expert like myself? Is it their board or is it investors or is there a problem? Or is it coming from them because they're ready for the next step?" "If you can get a curious, open-minded person that's doing it because they want to grow and they want it to get a good ROI and not build stuff that's too heavy or build stuff that's too light, that to me is the trifecta."
