Description
Predicting a startup will fail is like betting every number on the roulette wheel except that green double zero and then puffing out your chest when one of your numbers hits. It's just not impressive to predict that something going up against overwhelming odds won't beat those odds.And yet.... Sometimes people build startups like horses asses. And in that case, they need to be called out.This podcast originally aired the day Quibi launched back in April of 2020 and gave the company 18 months to survive. It didn't come close. This podcast isn't dancing on the grave of a company that failed. It's pointing out all the completely predictable and avoidable mistakes the company made so you won't make them, too.

INTERVIEW: Katherine Krug on Building BetterCo: We chatted with Katherine Krug, founder of BetterCo. This conversation is packed with insight - you'll need a notebook handy as you listen. Katherine takes us through the tactics and tools she used to ideate and develop BetterBack, a product that raised over $3mm on Kickstarter (first solo female founder to do so). We then touch on validation techniques, not raising funding, life design frameworks, and prioritization. She also gives an amazing answer to the "Taco Truck" question. by Idea to Startup
