I highlight the importance of validating business ideas and the high failure rate of startups. Through interviews with 10 founders and desktop research, I discovered that lack of knowledge and conflict between founders are common reasons for failure. I explain how a temporary co-founder can help founders gain clarity, focus, and confidence, as well as create a plan of action. This video offers an alternative approach to support, emphasizing collaboration, accountability, and shared tasks.</description></oembed>
