- 1Translate founder experience into employable evidence: revenue, users, funding, partnerships, not vision statements.
- 2Address the elephant directly: a one-line reason for the transition defuses the “will they leave?” question.
- 3Breadth is your pitch, show you've owned sales, product and ops at once, with a number for each.
