Gripping studies and advice
In this week's issue, studies and advice fuel our attention span. We believe looking at the big picture in the startup scene informs our actions and decisions. That is why we share articles with you from Steve Blank, Deloitte, a VC and Product Hunt veteran.
However, one topic cannot be left behind, and that is our health. As you may know, running a startup can physically and mentally leave its traces, and a burnout is a serious one. With one article we want to open up the (taboo and) discussion because we do have our health in our own hands. How do you handle the pressure and stress of yourself and team? What is your advice, as we may share it with fellow founders in next week's issue.
Have a great weekend,
