Imagine receiving personalized wisdom from someone who's navigated the exact startup challenge keeping you awake at night. That's the premise behind Maynard Webb's "Dear Founder" - a collection of hard-earned insights that began as advice letters to his son's investment portfolio companies and evolved into what Howard Schultz calls "a book I wish I had throughout my forty-year career." Rather than abstract theory, Webb addresses specific moments of truth every founder faces, from co-founder conflicts to scaling challenges. The book has become a trusted companion for entrepreneurs at all stages, offering practical guidance through the tumultuous waters of building something from nothing.
