A unique approach that prioritizes the founder's viewpoint, offering unfiltered insights into navigating relationships with investors, board members, and advisors while maintaining control of your vision and company direction. The authors provide clear guidance on when founder and investor interests may diverge and how to handle such situations effectively.

The authors leverage their extensive experience of both successes and failures to provide valuable lessons learned, including insights from their involvement in over 80 startup investments, 35+ company acquisitions, and multiple IPOs, offering readers the benefit of their combined decades of entrepreneurial wisdom.
