The Founder's Dilemmas offers a practical, research-backed look at the early decisions that determine a startup’s future. Drawing on a decade of study and data from nearly 10,000 founders, it focuses on the human and structural choices founders confront.

Topics include whether to bring cofounders or relatives into the team, how to allocate equity, and when a founder-CEO should exit or be replaced. The book explains how short-term conveniences can create long-term risks, and how to balance control with the resources needed to grow.

Ideal for entrepreneurs, investors, and advisors seeking clearer frameworks for founding-team strategy.
