Most founders donā€™t really need help with what they think they need.

(technology, go-to-market, fundraising, etc)

Instead itā€™s the unexpected stuffā€¦

Itā€™s not about having good ideas, itā€™s about having a processā€”and a cultureā€”for trying lots of ideas.

Awesome thread.

Hindsight is 20/20, and thinking about failure the traditional way can be self defeating.
