Being unhinged isn't the best way to communicate a vision. But it sure does show how you can't handle rejection or frustration well.


What you call unhinged another might call passion. Let's not pretend that all founders are perfectly hinged.


No one is pretending anything. Quite a few founders are unhinged. Many are also passionate. The successful few know when to be appropriately passionate instead of irrationally unhinged. I think we're all smart enough to distinguish between the two. Temper tantrums are not exactly the same as passionate, well-reasoned pitches.
