34. Building the Team
65% of
all startup
failure
is due to
team issues
Have
diverse
skill sets
and
perspectives
No one
is CEO!
Everyone
wears as
many hats

35. Forget about very
specific roles

Don’t expect to sit around and order people to create stuff.
You can use tons of software to create apps/websites yourself
