Just because an investor agrees to meet with you doesn’t mean they’ll give you a check. As a founder, your job is to figure out who will and not let pointless meetings take up your valuable time.

Despite knowing their product inside and out, a lot of founders faceplant when it comes to investor pitches. If you want to maximize your chances at funding success, you need to tailor your message to the audience.

A company culture that allows your team to experiment and fail is crucial to your long-term growth. As a leader, your job is to create a space that fosters that kind of creativity.

When disaster strikes, pointing a finger can be tempting, but great leaders cultivate a culture of accountability rather than blame.

On both an individual and an organizational level, the key to building a great reputation is operating with a clear purpose in mind.
