The Founder’s Dilemmas

Anticipating and Avoiding the Pitfalls That Can Sink a Startup

The evening is an opportunity for members of the JBN community to get together in a casual setting and have a conversation with Noam Wasserman, Noam will talk about core lessons from his recently-released book about the early, often difficult, decisions that founders make that tend to get them into trouble down the road.

Noam Wasserman is a professor at Harvard Business School. For more than a decade, his research has focused on founders’ early decisions that can make or break the startup and its team. At HBS, he developed and teaches an MBA elective, “Founders’ Dilemmas,” for which he was awarded the HBS Faculty Teaching Award and the Academy of Management’s 2010 Innovation in Pedagogy Award. In 2011, the course was also named one of the top entrepreneurship courses in the country by Inc. magazine.
