In the Colorado startup community, you’ll meet many people who talk about a “Give-First” philosophy. Give-First means experienced entrepreneurs and mentors give a little time to help new entrepreneurs in small ways, without expecting anything in return. It’s usually small gestures like reviewing a pitch deck, taking a call, grabbing coffee, etc. The important point is that we don’t expect anything in return. We do it because: 1) we were all new entrepreneurs at one point and needed all the help we could get, 2) it helps the ecosystem grow, 3) we’ve made a new friend, and 4) kind gestures are often paid forward or returned. You don’t need to demand something in return to get something in return. I always enjoy meeting people with a Give-First attitude in the @solana ecosystem — there are a lot of great people here, and we should all work hard to preserve a culture friendly to new developers. If you see me at an event, feel free to say ‘Hi.’ I’ll be curious to learn what you are working on, and I won’t ask for anything in return. That’s it, that’s the Tweet. Many new developers are working on Solana. Give-First and take the time to welcome them to our ecosystem. I hope to see you at another @SolanaEvents soon!
