In “Dear First-Time Founders,” our hosts Stacey Lawson and Maria Sipka sit down with our incredible founders to talk about their journey of navigating the other “F” word in Silicon Valley - Fear & Failure. How did they overcome them? How did they navigate and get back up?
The podcast “Dear First-Time Founders” is produced by Second Time Founders, a community founded on the belief that when founders create their second company, they choose to do things differently based on what they learned.
New episodes coming out bi-weekly on Friday.
