The early-to-growth transition is high pressure and high stakes. Along the way, first-time founders may succumb to self doubt, mistakenly trading away the things that make their startup special in the hopes it will bring financial results. It's a false dichotomy. Long-term financial success stems from disciplined execution that is aligned with the founder’s vision and the startup’s soul. They and their teams must find ways to hold all three in focused balance, as compromising one for the other is more likely to hinder long-term success than to buoy short-term distress. While this may seem self-evident, many startups will fail or disappoint as a result of this mistake. Founders and investors - does this resonate?
