A must-share for every #founder navigating the startup rollercoaster 💡 During our powerful conversation with one of our #unicorn leaders, Fritz Lanman (CEO at ClassPass & Mindbody), he shared this crucial insight that every entrepreneur should embrace: "Find a team that's motivated by the challenge...and that you don't have to gaslight all the time into how well things are going. Cause things are going to go bad at some point and you want people who will lean in when that happens." Adversity is going to happen. It's unavoidable. Are you building a team that can weather the storm? #FridayFounderAdvice #leadership #startupadvice #CEO #founders #startups #VC

Early stage investors can really mess up when they value company potential over founder potential. When change is inevitable, people navigate pivots, not products. #investing #founders #startups

Outlander VC reposted this
We host open office hours at Outlander VC where 6-8 founders pitch our team in front of each other. Here’s why: - You can’t validate from a pitch deck - Actually spending 15 minutes with a founder tells you more than any email ever could - Founders have the chance to learn from each other & connect offline after the call #venture #vc #investing #founders #startups
