In my experience studying and advising early-stage startups, it has become obvious that they primarily fail because of inadvertent mistakes made by the founder or founders. External forces are seldom the reason for the death of the startup. Success therefore primarily depends on the success of the founder.
How can you, as a founder, prevent slowly killing your startup? Get naked. Figuratively, of course.
