The Millennial Entrepreneur and a Serial Entrepreneur on Building a Fail-Safe Startup

Today we are delighted to have Tom Eisenman, Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School and author of The Fail-Safe Startup. Interviewing him today is a friend and fellow from the Elevating Founders network and cohort, Sina Sadzaray. Tom and Sina discuss how important innovation is to drive economic growth post pandemic, why the hypergrowth that VCs push for isn’t always sustainable and dispels the myth that listening to your gut is the right thing to do. Tom breaks down some key takeaways from the book including why startups fail, what defines failure and when you should break away from the herd.
