Closing the door on my startup opened the door to more opportunities than I could have imagined. Iām proud to be an Unfounder, helping startups grow from day one. Iāve been both founder and Unfounder and now I want to share the stories no one hears; applauding the day one drivers behind brands.
You donāt have to start the brand to be the reason it made it. Forget founder fairy tales. Weāre here for the Unfounders. Real talk from the people who took the leap (and what they ād tell you before you do).
