Subtle Mid-Stage Startup Pitfalls

Jessica Livingston

"It doesn't get any easier. It gets different. As your company grows, things stay as hard but the nature of problems change."

Sunset

David Byttow

"Secret, Inc. still has a significant amount of invested capital, but our investors funded the team and the product, and I believe the right thing to do is to return the money rather than attempt to pivot."

Company's Success is Directly Proportionate to How Often your Employees Smile

"Unhappy employees don't put as much effort into their work nor are they particularly loyal to the company they work for so they are generally less productive than happy employees."

You're Confusing Problem and Solution and it's Killing Your Startup.

Spike Morelli

"Armed with an idea of who your customer is (likely an early adopter at this point) you can get out of the building and talk to him/her."

How to Keep Believing in Yourself

Kate Kendall

"The thing about entrepreneurship is that you're forever operating outside a box – or known boundaries. That's why some of the greatest innovators are ignorant to begin with."
