Risk and risk tolerance are important concepts for entrepreneurs and investors. Many people believe early-stage investors, venture capitalists, and successful company founders are people willing to accept a high degree of risk. I’ve found this to be far from the truth and, in fact, most often value is created by those intensely focused on identifying and efficiently managing risk.

- Defining risks around Product/Market Fit
- Business Model Risks
- Execution and Scaling Risks
- Identifying and quantifying risks
- Risks management strategies
- Prioritizing and optimizing risk exposure
