Surviving a Startup with Steven Hoffman
He has a long history with startups. His career took off with three venture-funded startups in Silicon Valley as well as two bootstrap startups. He proclaims, "he's been in the trenches" and knows first-hand all the hardships and triumphs that entrepreneurs face.
After his third venture-funded startup, when he decided to take a break, his friends began to approach him for help with their own startups, asking questions on how to raise money, how to pitch investors, how to scale a company, and beyond. He soon gained the nickname "Captain Hoff" and became a go-to for startup information in Silicon Valley.
