Your Investors Expect You to Mess Up

THE LEAN LESSON
Yes, really.
Especially if you’re a first-time CEO.
Mistakes are part of the deal. But here’s the rule:
Don’t surprise your investors.
Tell them before the board meeting.
Show what you’ve learned.
It’s not about being perfect.
It’s about being accountable.
Mistakes don’t kill startups.
Silence does.
