On episode 30 of the Founders’ Fable, we're talking with Steven Plappert. They're a 2-time Founder and 2-time Techstars Alum. Steven also just completed a fundraising round of $4.5 million!
Topics we discuss include growing up in an entrepreneurial family, taking a crack at it early on, trial by fire and experiential learning, co-founder dynamics, being careful with investor choice, life being bigger than capital and startups, better data access meaning better decisions, the mental toll of failure, decision fatigue, the baggage of a second-time founder, being a founder isn't for everyone, the difficulty of getting product development just right, and the power is in the people.
