Hello, I'm Yunjoo Shin, the producer at EO.
Today, our topic is the often-overlooked aspect of startups: failures.

While we frequently hear about the success stories of startups, the world of business is also filled with untold stories of failure. In fact, statistics suggest that more than two-thirds of startup ventures ultimately meet with failure. This means that, statistically speaking, your own startup is at risk of encountering setbacks as well.

Tom Eisenmann is a professor of Entrepreneurship at Harvard Business School, who is often referred to as "the Professor of Failure”. Tom has dedicated the past decade to researching the common patterns that lead to startup failures, as well as how these pitfalls can be avoided. His findings are encapsulated in his book, "Why Startups Fail," which offers a comprehensive insight into the world of startup failures.

Let's explore how Tom emphasizes the importance of learning from these failures.

2:07 A good failure is when the entreprenuer has hypothesis.
2:41 Bad failure is when you make thiese mistakes that are in your control and could have been avoided.
8:48 Leraning from personal failure is much more powerful.
9:44 The important thing for the entreprenuer to learn from failure is to let strong emotions settle down.
10:54 When you(founder) take too much responsibility, you're not probably going to launch another venture. 🤓

I think it's okay to listen to theory, as long as it's the result of in depth of business researches. But the better is interviewing the founder, it creates bigger impact because we have in common
