I will be the first to tell you that I don't think I'm qualified yet to have an opinion. However, I think this is a horrible idea.
> Struck and his colleagues–CTO and co-founder of Resy Michael Montero and Tom Ryan, CEO of streaming at Paramount–wanted to create a company for risk-averse executives. In Struck’s view, these executives present the profiles they are looking for in a founder. In return, his company will offer them 50% of the startup.
I'm not bought into the idea an artificial founder that identifies as "risk-averse" is a better bet than what I imagine to be a plethora of organic ideas from "true" founders.

I'd love to be convinced otherwise.
