You and your team will take on the role of a young startup team. You will be challenged to develop a strategy and make strategic decisions under time pressure, notably with regard to investors and investor syndicates.<\/p>\n

You will be exposed to strategic dilemmas, hostile competitors, demanding investors, complex deals, liquidity crises, and all the factors a startup team has to deal with as it tries to get to a successful exit.<\/p>\n

Many people get overwhelmed. They function poorly as a team. They get stressed. They make bad decisions. They are unable to collaborate on strategy. They are unable to handle tough competitors. They make bad deals. They are unable to handle cap tables.<\/p>\n

This is by design.<\/strong><\/p>\n
