An essential guide to understanding the dynamics of a startup's board of directors Lets face it, as founders and entrepreneurs, you have a lot on your plate-getting to your minimum viable product, developing customer interaction, hiring team members, and managing the accounts/books.
Sooner or later, you have a board of directors, three to five (or even seven) Type A personalities who seek your attention and at times will tell you what to do. While you might be hesitant to form a board, establishing an objective outside group is essential for startups, especially to keep you on track, call you out when you flail, and in some cases, save you from yourself.

Along the way, he shares valuable insights on various aspects of the board, including how they can support you, help you understand your startup's milestones and get to them faster, and hold you accountable.
