We have all heard the stat that 90% of startups fail. This boils down to a simple math problem: it takes the average company four years to start making meaningful revenue, but founders usually start with less than 18 months of runway. Whether a founder is bootstrapping or wants to raise capital, speed to revenue is the single most important factor for success. Almost no founder thinks in these terms.I co-founded tech startups for more than 25 years -- my winners combined for nearly a billion dollars in exits, and my losers wasted millions of dollars and a decade of my life.I focus exclusively on helping first- and second-time founders maximize their chance of success by achieving product/market fit in the shortest time possible.This is what some of my clients say:"Eric is insanely experienced...
