6. THE MYTH OF THE LONELY ENTREPRENEUR
THIS IS a DISTORTION OF THE REALITY, you are SEEing THE
SUCCESSFUL CEO. THIS IS NOT THE REALITY OF A STARTUP. NO
ONE EVER FUNDED A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS INDIVIDUALLY!

7. YOU ARE NOT A FOUNDER!
YOU ARE A CO-FOUNDER
THIS IS FUNDAMENTAL, YOU MIGHT BE LOOKING FOR A TECHNICAL CO-
FOUNDER, ASK YOURSELF WHY HE/SHE SHOULD BE LOOKING FOR YOU?
CAN YOU SELL ANYTHING? WHAT’S YOUR TRACK RECORD? ARE YOU AN
AMAZING TECH GURU? A ROCKET SCIENTIST?
