Challenges for early-stage Startups

Lack of Technical Leadership: Many promising startups are held back by the lack of an experienced tech leader.
Misalignment: Divergent goals between technology and business can jeopardize growth and potential.
Inefficient Execution: Without the right guidance, technical teams are often not maximizing their output or focusing on the right tasks.
Trust Gaps: Business angels invest not just capital, but trust. Uncertainty in a startup's technical abilities can deter potential investments or jeopardize existing ones.

In my experience, a startup's technology foundation is as vital as it's business plan. The right guidance can turn challenges into success.
