26. CUSTOMERS AND PRESS INVESTORS EMPLOYEES

27. In the early days, everyone was a critic Even my mom was embarrassed the first two years 5 years later, I’m an over-night success FOUNDER QUOTES

28. Start 8 new companies – 2 per quarter Recruit a CEO for each Learn what goes wrong SO LAST YEAR I SET A GOAL

29. Missed my goal - only started 5 Storytelling was the key to both recruiting and raising $. I kept telling the story to everyone I knew and hearing why it was stupid Results to date –2 already dead –2 lightly funded with one founder –1 venture funded with 10 people now SO LAST YEAR I SET A GOAL

30. Part-time founders are highly unstable source of labor. 2-3 people really make it more fun and more sustainable Underfunding causes real stress and few business can achieve anything in 1 year. So either plan for no money, or raise as much as you can Launch early. The enemy of startups isn’t ugly products, bad press, or customer anger…it’s apathy WHAT WENT WRONG?

31. Few ideas are great The Darwinian process works NOTHING WENT WRONG
