What are the factors that contribute to the failure of almost 90% of startup ventures? In this episode, Jerry sits down with author and Harvard Business School professor Tom Eisenmann to discuss the patterns that often precipitate the vast majority of startup failures. The pair take a closer look at how the advice to “fail fast” often leads founders to false start — risking capital and time on the wrong solutions. They shine a light on the pressure founders feel to grow the business rapidly, the lionization of venture capital, and the true human cost of failure.

#146 - The Cost of Failure - with Tom Eisenmann & Jerry Colonna

The Reboot Podcast has hosted a wide variety of conversations around the complexity and diversity of the co-founder experience, such as the importance of communication, the power of mindfulness in partnerships, and shared our advice for navigating co-founder conflict. Co-founders looking to meet the day-to-day challenges of running a business must commit to consistent work in aligning their vision and purpose for the organization, but what happens when an unforeseen tragedy throws all your preparation out the door?

In this episode, Nitin Agrawal, Co-founder and CEO of Interstride, describes the loneliness and pathlessness he experienced in the wake of the sudden death of his dear friend and fellow co-founder, Christian. Nitin details the experience and soul searching it took to rediscover his purpose and recounts how his journey through grief restored confidence in his own ability to lead. Jerry and Nitin explore what it means to manage the heartbreak of the every day and share advice for finding the strength to land on your feet when your foundation gets shaken to its core.
