I have learned a lot of things about business and the entrepreneurial experience over the last twenty-five years. During that time, I was a founder, CEO, Chief Scientist, angel investor, and startup advisor. I recently gave a live talk at the Founder Institute, where I talked about my most significant insights about the startup world, business, and life.
The attendees loved it, so I immediately started working on a version for Feel the Boot.

So, here are the insights in no particular order:
Validate early and often
You can't overcommunicate
Everything a founder says is amplified
Networking is not schmoozing
Get over your aversion to selling
Talk about benefits, not features
Understand the person across the table
Style and aesthetics matter
You don't scale, and delegation sucks
Startups are a marathon
