Are you getting the best startup advice? In this episode, Dalton and Michael discuss the phenomenon of local startup experts and why they may be doing a disservice to your entrepreneurial journey. ▶️ https://lnkd.in/gVHWHPzD

When we got started with our first no-frills workshops, addressing people problems felt like the frontier in supporting startups. Hardly anyone in the startup ecosystem—including founders, investors, and accelerators—was paying attention to the help founders needed to navigate team conflicts and build healthy cultures. Our greatest hope is that someday soon, our emphasis on people will stop being a frontier. And that we evolve how all startup teams operate, everywhere. We want to see a future where these topics are part of the curriculum at every startup accelerator and business school entrepreneurship program.

So true Dalton and Michael from Y Combinator. Check out your mentor, ask for testimonials and ring someone they have mentored. Also try to get someone who is willing to challenge you and push the boundaries and is willing to call out the weaknesses in your product, team and company and help in identifying the threats in the marketplace, (Research before you build-know your customer and competitor) if they don't the market definitely will. Please remember 80-90% fail because you didn't identify them. Look for a mentor who has start-up and c-suite experience with domain knowledge. This ideal scenario mentor can change depending on the task at hand. Ultimately get someone who not only understands success but also failure, someone who has fought in the trenches because the start-up journey is not all plain sailing.
