"Research suggests as many as 8 percent of startups began to fail because their founders burn out." Yup. #selfcare https://t.co/MhqIIsawlV

Believe me - every single company that looks like they are crushing it is still a giant shitshow internally. That’s normal.

[Amity Chicago @AmityChicago]

@StuartBlitz We can confirm this to be 100% true. Sometimes it's in the relationships and sometimes in the founders' internal insecurities...but it's always something. Always. And it's normal! Not an indication of failure, in fact, usually the opposite.

The biggest threat to seed stage companies isn't finding product market fit but rather dealing with co-founder conflict.

Nov 18th in Chi, we'll host a first of its kind of event to discuss juxtaposing transparency & vulnerability vs the need to inspire teams and customers.

Anyone who’s been nominated for an “award” in Chicago is invited so they can see the difference (2/2)
