“I don’t know what I’m doing” How many times has a founder told that to a board or to his management team? Rarely, if ever. How often does a founder feel that way? Plenty. (Related: How often does a VC tell his partners that statement? Rarely, if ever, unfortunately.) The reason why a founder won’t open up and share that fear is because of another fear: the fear of looking weak or clueless. “If I share my fears, I could lose my job or lose control”.
