EO — 'The anatomy of a startup death' — Eric on the governing documents almost every founder signs without reading
EO is a global media brand for builders with 700K YouTube subscribers. Its 25-minute interview with Eric works through the firing of Sol Price at FedMart, Philip Morris's acquisition of Vectura, and how Anthropic and Patagonia hold their purpose, closing on The Lean Startup 15 years on.
“Fifteen years after The Lean Startup, he's onto a different problem. Not how to find something worth building, but how to keep it. In this conversation, Eric explains why good companies get destroyed in the name of profit, the governing documents almost every founder signs without reading, and the structures a few companies use to protect their mission.” — EO episode description
