Founders act like the “minimum” part is the goal. This rigor of “no new features until you’ve exhausted the search for a business model&# counters a natural tendency of people who talk to customers – you tend to collect a list of features that if added, will get one additional customer to buy. “Well he didn’t like it either.”

The board raises a collective eyebrow. Now the board collectively raises both eyebrows and looks quizzically at the CEO. Moreover, since the first CEO was likely to have been one of the founders, the trauma of CEO removal begins. The VP of Sales goes back and exhorts the troops to work harder. Any of this sound familiar?

In my experience, some startup founders do overcome these odds, but you need to be realistic and do your homework. Also, don’t expect enthusiasm for your gambling site, porn site, gaming, or debt collection business. You have an advantage if you can get them on your turf, and even get several key employees to tag-team the presentation.

Pattern Recognition One of the great things about being an entrepreneur is that you are constantly running a pattern recognition algorithm against a continual collection of customer and market data. However, if the founder is still running the company, the last thing he wants is a company complacent with day-to-day execution.
