Founding and scaling your company can be one of the most rewarding experiences you have in your life. The satisfaction of bringing your vision to reality, financial windfalls, a new rolodex of interesting and powerful people, and the personal growth you realize navigating the highs and lows can be life-altering. Wherever you are on your company-building journey, hopefully you’ve taken a moment to recognize the list of accomplishments you’ve already piled up and how it already sets you apart from the rest of the pack.
That said, the venture-backed CEO’s role is not for the faint of heart. The relentless pressure, incredibly high stakes, and isolation are all part of the unwritten job description of a founder CEO scaling something from nothing.
