Got an inquiry from a recruiter who thought describing each of the company's founders' exploits would catch my attention. (Hint: it generally does not.) One founder was described as:
"famously built a nuclear fusion reactor as a kid"
I mean, by that logic, I built a spaceship as a kid -- in that neither of the things we built worked.
But it's a great way to communicate that your founders are into grandiose statements and are likely believers in the "Great Man" idea, which is a hard no from me.
