This is required reading for founders. Experienced entrepreneurs
all know this period Scott refers to as 'the messy middle' and a
few of us have worked our way out of it, but this is the first time
I've seen an expert-both as a founder and as an investor-break down
in such detail just how to endure, optimize, and make it through.
