How New Ideas Almost Killed Our Startup
Odysseus resisting the Sirens On my three year startup journey that lead to Yipit , I had over 30 other completely unrelated ideas.

This post was originally published at HBR.org. What is entrepreneurship? You probably think that the answer is obvious, and that only an academic would bother to ask this question.
