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

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
