Sharkfellas: Building a Startup Like It’s a Crime Family (Minus the Loyalty)

Here's the deal, founders—your visionary brilliance (insert sarcastic slow clap here) can only get your precious little startup so far. I hate to break it to you (actually, no, I kinda love it), but your cousin Mitch who built a website once isn't a "tech genius," and your BFF Faiza's Instagram following doesn't make her qualified to run marketing. According to actual research, 23% of startups nosedive spectacularly because they didn't bother assembling a competent crew. Yes, darling, your company might implode simply because you chose your "squad" based on gut-instinct and beer-pong prowess.
