Overall good experience - EIR (Entrepreneur In Residence) TandemLaunch Employee Review

Good supports across different projects

Remote working has created barriers for group work

You can learn how to not build startups. You can learn a lot about yourself and your priorities. If you want to be involved in real startups, go somewhere else.

There are too many things wrong with this company so I won't even get started. I warmly recommend: STAY AWAY! If you really consider it, I recommend to ask lots of questions. Ask deep questions. The retention rate is the lowest I have ever seen in any company ... and for a good reason! Do not only rely to get information from people who currently work there. Research the people who worked in various startups and have left. Contact them and ask lots of questions. Ask why they left. Ask how many "co-founders" joined and left during the course of the project. Ask how much equity they ended up (or would have ended up). Ask what kind of control they had over their project. Ask about limitations of their shares (e.g. TL's repurchase rights). Ask HOW their startup was funded (hint: it's not what they claim) and what the implications on the share allocations are. Ask how they define a successful company. Ask them if they think their startup (or other ones at TandemLaunch) are successful and why/why not. Ask many more questions. Most importantly: Whatever you do, have a backup plan. The chances are very, very high (yes, based on hard data), you won't be at this place for more than a year.
