10 lessons learned the hard way.
I know what you're thinking: How the hell does someone build 20+ startups in 5 years?
Let me get that out of the way.
I work as an independent corporate venture builder, with bundl.com. Building startups from nothing to PM-fit is sort of my job, except instead of VC money, we use corporate money. To get an idea, have a look at some of our hero cases, like this Free-roam VR Playground. ****
Next to that, I've had my own startup adventures. They are worth diving in to for their own reasons, but that's for another time. For now, you just need to know that I failed 2 startups, and am actively running 3 right now: Avatek, Studio Stift, and Venturism.
Lastly, I closely coached and co-piloted an additional handful of startups at various stages of maturity, bringing the tally up to somewhere over 20.
...I share my lessons learned over the past 5 years of building ventures, on varying levels of abstraction. Some are very high-level, some straight from the trenches.
