Entrepreneurship Handbook Weekly Wrapup for 5/19/2025

What founders don’t see coming—until it wipes them out.

Startups don't kill founders. Founders kill startups—usually by accident. This week's reads might help you avoid that.

If one of these articles hit you where it hurts—or made you see your startup with fresh (and maybe uncomfortable) eyes—that’s the point. The more honest we are about what kills businesses, the better our odds of actually building one that lasts.

Hit reply and tell me what resonated… or what rattled you. Because let’s be real: if something in this newsletter didn’t sting a little, you might not be moving fast enough (or being honest with yourself).
