Over 90% of startups fail. How can boards help founders beat the odds? Having begun life as a founder, Marta Krupinska has continued to work with start-ups as an investor (Google Startups UK, Climate VC) and Chair (Youth Business International). Marta sits down with Nurole CEO Oliver Cummings to reflect on how boards add most value to founders and how founders add value to boards. She answers the following questions: what can boards do to stop start-ups failing (1:28);  where do founders most often go wrong with their boards (4:11); when have you seen investor-directors add the most (and least) value (7:35); do you have any hacks for founders or CEOs wanting to get more from their board members (12:57); how do you measure the value of your board members (15:37); what common problems have you seen people run into as boards scale (17:59); what is the value of independent directors (22:42); why do you sit on boards as a founder (26:24), and the lightning round (31:59).
