The founder dilemmas
Often downplayed in the excitement of starting up a new business venture is one of the most important decisions entrepreneurs will face: Should they go it alone, or bring in cofounders, hires, and investors to help build the business? More than just financial rewards are at stake. Friendships and relationships can suffer. Bad decisions at the inception of a promising venture lay the foundations for its eventual ruin. The Founder's Dilemmas written by Noam Wasserman is a great book to examine the early decisions by entrepreneurs that can make or break a startup and its team. You can find a cool video on the book here.
