The Startup Solution tackles the make-or-break situations that entrepreneurs face, offering clear advice on how to survive and thrive in an early-stage company. Who's it for? Founders, startup execs, and investors who want to learn from real-world situations, unpacked by Heidi Roizen, a "recovering" entrepreneur and current VC who has seen it all through 40 years and 40 boards. Heidi uses a case method to unpack a new situation in each episode, breaking down why it's a big deal and talking about how it was solved or could have been solved. The situations are from her direct experience, though all names and details have been changed to uphold our commitment to the Entrepreneur Protection Program. Heidi has spent 40 years in the tech startup world, the first dozen years as an entrepreneur herself, and since then, 25 years as a venture capitalist. She's served on over 40 boards, from seed stage to public companies. She also co-leads the Threshold Venture Fellows program at Stanford University and is a partner at Threshold Ventures.
