Many startups face hidden challenges, including co-founder disputes, which are often more dangerous than technical issues, and I help founders address these problems.

Understanding the difficulties of startups early on can help founders better prepare for the challenges they will face as they encounter various obstacles.

As a startup founder, I constantly faced setbacks, and it's crucial to understand that these challenges will keep happening over and over again.

All startups face internal challenges, and it's normal to feel like things are broken; persistence is key to overcoming these issues.

Having been a founder myself helps me as an investor because I understand the challenges and can identify kindred spirits among entrepreneurs.

When assessing a startup, I look for the founder's passion and resilience, as these traits are crucial for overcoming challenges in building a company.

I help startups with hard projects, often related to funding or M&A transactions, leveraging my network to bootstrap their growth. Founders often make the mistake of not focusing enough on finding investors who can add significant value to their company, prioritizing valuation and dilution instead.

Startups are inherently difficult, and every founder will face moments of self-doubt. It's better to work on something significant, even if it feels daunting.

Startups often experience dramatic ups and downs, akin to a roller coaster, and founders should be prepared for the emotional challenges that come with it.
