Challenge your team
The most important thing that leads to startup success (even more-so than luck, timing, hard work and persistence) is solving a problem in a different way from competitors.
Team & Leadership
Hiring, firing, culture, and managing people when you’re still figuring it out yourself.
Reasons NOT to join a startup
Startups are different beasts. If you’ve never been a part of one, it’s really hard to explain just how unique and challenging it is to be part of one during its early stages. I’ve seen so many people think they want to be involved in a startup only to have the reality punch them in the face when they get what they want.
Get aligned
Co-founders need to be aligned. Unified. Clear on objectives. To have a voice.
The Startup Culture
Lots has been written about the importance of company culture and how to encourage it to develop and flourish in the right way.
How patient is too patient
How much patience should you have with employees in an early stage startup?
Fighting Fiefdoms

There’s no coaching in startups
There are 2 cardinal rules in life: There is no crying in baseball and there is no coaching in startups.
