Resilience is a founder’s superpower

It takes grit, determination, and drive to set up on your own. And it takes even more to stay afloat, with an eye-watering 60% of businesses failing in their first three years. Perhaps just as much as the brilliant business idea, the difference between success and failure boils down to personal resilience. Just how do you handle those founders’ knock-backs, navigating funding rejections, business pivots, and burnout? Can you pick yourself up, dust yourself down, and start all over again?

Why non-technical founders don’t need a technical co-founder

Five years ago, I launched my first startup in The Bay Area. I’ll skip to the end: it failed. The idea was solid, I was motivated, but my co-founder and I didn’t see eye to eye.
