by Everett Harper, CEO and cofounder of Truss. Entrepreneurs have a strong sense of self-reliance, and so the idea of asking for help isn’t on their radar.

My mom was an entrepreneur – she was kind of my inspiration for entrepreneurship. It was all technical. She was paid much more than me and no matter how technical I was, they saw me as the business guy because I graduated with a degree in economics.

How cofounders can collaborate without going crazy.

Well I appreciate that.
