As a cofounder you are *always* selling. To customers, to investors, to press, to team members, to potential hires, to partners. Even if you’re the most technical CTO out there, you have to get comfortable with this reality. Being ‘ PLG ‘ doesn’t solve for this. Hiring a recruiter doesn’t solve for this. Having a cofounder who loves selling doesn’t (fully) solve for this.

Is Your Artificial Intelligence (AI) Content Missing The Human Touch? AI can create content for your business or practice quickly and easily. But be careful! It lacks emotional intelligence, or EI. Emotional Intelligence is all about being aware of emotions and using them in problem solving and daily tasks. (See Psychology Today.) AI draws information from the Internet to create content.

Having a strong online presence is important for startups who are aiming to establish themselves in an already competitive market. Unfortunately, many new businesses struggle to get this right, leading to missed opportunities and, in some cases, damage to the reputation they are trying to build. By avoiding common mistakes, startups can build a great foundation for growth and customer engagement.

I want to share a little secret with you that holds the power to completely change how you run your business. Its not some fancy system, a new app, or even a groundbreaking strategy. Its way simpler than that. Ready? Ask your customers what they want. Yeah, yeah, I know. It sounds obvious. But heres the thing: most entrepreneurs dont do it. We think we already know what our customers want.

Delays can make or break a startup. When customers are left waiting for updates, responses, or resolutions, their trust in your business erodes. In the fast-paced startup environment, where every customer counts, delays can quickly spiral into lost opportunities and tarnished reputations. Even a single unsatisfied customer can lead to negative reviews that deter future business.

Every investor or lender wants regular information from companies taking their money. And most of us are frustrated by the lack of regular communication – unless the company needs more money. On the other side, entrepreneurs and CEOs usually have a natural fear of giving too much information to investors and bankers after the initial amounts have been received.

It is the foundation of policies, workflow systems, and compliance measures that carry weight in businesses. Process documentation, contract documentation, or compliance reports help eliminate errors and improve accountability.

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned in life is that trust is the cornerstone of all relationships. Trust is easy to break and hard to rebuild, especially in the workplace. As companies like Amazon double down on return-to-office (RTO) policies, leaders are finding themselves in a precarious position. Employees who once thrived on the flexibility of remote work are now grappling with feelings of betrayal as promises of autonomy are revoked.
