Fred Wilson is the managing partner at Union Square Ventures and a founder of Flatiron Ventures. He blogs at AVC.com, where aspiring entrepreneurs can learn a lot from his regular MBA Mondays posts, among others. We were going through a few old Inc. magazines sitting around the office and came across this thought from Fred in one of them:
Timid Types Need Not Apply
“You simply can’t be tentative in a startup. You have to go for it at every chance you get. And if the leader of the organization is anxious, his or her fear pervades the organization. Everything comes from the top in a company…. So if you are starting a company or building one, face your fears and move past them. It’s critically important to your company.”
—Fred Wilson, Investor
