Robert Wright on Founder

Great new marketing pitch from Silicon Valley: We're destroying everything you loved about the old world and in its place we'll bring you... well we're not sure what. But trust us: It will be great. (Have we ever let you down before?)

Why it worked

Follows a clear Hook → Turn → Landing shape, so the reader always knows where they are.
Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Turn → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: corporate
Written for: Founders and early-stage teams
