Traditional Archetype: The Fool

“Leap first, metrics later”

The Founder

The Founder is pure belief incarnate - the origin story of every illusion. Dressed in optimism and armed with a pitch deck, they step off the cliff of uncertainty convinced that faith is a strategy.

Their strength lies in motion, their weakness in reflection. They believe in the myth of their own exceptionality, unaware that they are simply the first turn of the corporate wheel.
