There’s no denying it.

No matter how good your product or team is, the startup will make or break because of the founder.

Most founders learn this during their startup journey and actively pursue everything they can to make sure they can be the best founders possible. But in doing so, fall into the hidden traps and paradoxically become the founders they’ve tried so hard to avoid being. What are these founder traits that you should avoid at all cost?
