The Founder’s Dilemma

7 minutes (1 section)
Entrepreneurship

Course Description

Imagine you’re the founder of a growing business.

As your venture grows bigger and bigger, do you turn over control to a more seasoned leader with the right skillset? Or do you maintain control over the business you started no matter what?

This is the classic Founder’s Dilemma, made famous by author Noah Wasserman in the 2013 bestseller, The Founder’s Dilemmas.

In this course, you’ll learn why many founders eventually face the decision between being “Rich”, such as by accepting a large sum of money to exit the business, and being “King” – maintaining firm control of the company they started. You’ll also hear of some famous examples of this dilemma from companies such as Zipcar, Facebook, and Apple. Finally, you’ll hear of some additional options and challenges which entrepreneurs face today.

Join us, and learn about the Founder’s Dilemma today!
