The Truth
Too many founders and their teams, with good ideas and passionate energies, have spent too much time and money on avoidable mistakes.
Countless times, well-meaning people with good ideas have launched a company only to find they’ve spent too much time and money on mistakes—too much on prototypes, patents, lawyers, accountants, teammates, pivots, financial proforma, grant submissions, and potential investors.
You need not have such experiences. There are easier, less stressful, and more profitable ways to achieve success.
