The Founder’s Manual

Many aspects of being a Founder, creating a product, and building a company are counter-intuitive. In The Founder’s Manual, Ryan Frederick provides insights into how to deal with them including:

• Founders have to run to the fire, not away from it.
• Scale doesn’t matter until a small number of customers love what you are doing.
