Steve Blank's biggest failure as a
startup CEO was at Rocket Science
Games. The team lost $35 million
because the business model and
the founding team didn't match.
When he looked around at the
executive staff, there wasn’t a
single founder who was a gamer.
Worse, there wasn’t a single
person who had come from a
game company. Nor was there
anyone with this experience on
the board. In the end, it made
beautiful looking products that
weren’t much fun to play.

• A start-up founding team needs every
skill and trait to be successful and to
see the big picture.
• It does not make sense to get a co-
founder and share equity for skills that
can be easily learned.
• focus on your inherent personality and
then decide what traits should a co-
founder have to complement these.
