As Founders, we often give so much to our startup that eventually we become glorified employees.

Staying in customer support gives us the information we need to continue to grow with our customers, not away from them.

Growing up broke sucks, but can be one of the most valuable assets to shape us as a Startup Founder.

How do we build a diverse culture at our startups if we haven't established a safe space to discuss our differences?

When it comes to investors, if their answer isn't an enthusiastic "YES" — it's a "No." We as Founders need to be aware of the signals and take a hint.

How an investor says "No" to a Founder makes a BIG difference.

Retiring isn't really our end goal, so we shouldn't aspire to it. What we really want is to shape our life the way we want it to be.

Being safe is a luxury, and something often overlooked while building a startup. As Founders, we need to remember that paying the bills should be our ultimate goal, and hope that the "riches" follow suit.

As Founders, it's important to have a realistic approach to building our company (even if it's our dream). Optimizing for probable outcomes over the size of our company is part of that approach.
