I ' ll help , I need a boldore evolved as well <| sep |> In general , I think it ' s a helpful skill to have . Particularly in the early stages when you don ' t have a lot of capital to work with , having an outgoing personality and the ability to get people excited and emotionally invested in your venture is a good skill to have . Similarly , having a large network and knowing how to activate people ' s support is also very valuable . That said , it ' s certainly possible to be successful as an introvert . To do so , you need to be skilled enough in another area , or have enough capital to be able to get people who are extroverted to join you . This is fairly common in the startup world . Often you see one technical cofounder who is often brilliantly skilled in their core competency and one nontechnical cofounder who handles things like raising money , lining up partnerships , making sales , and supporting customers . One thing which I think is key , is to be selfaware enough to feel where you are on this spectrum . If you are social and extroverted , embrace that and use it as an asset . If you are somewhere in the middle , definitely consider cultivating this skill set . If you are deeply introverted and not comfortable in social situations , but skilled elsewhere , don ' t fight your nature , but instead figure out how to partner with someone to do the social aspects of the business so you can focus on your strengths .
