That does not mean it is stable. For a lot of founders, growth quietly hides the problems that will break the company later, and you do not see it until it snaps. Tracy Holland is a founder, investor, and operator who took HatchBeauty Brands from zero to 100 million dollars, then built a live selling business to 27 million in two years and sold it. She now buys distressed companies and rebuilds them, and she has worked with more than three thousand entrepreneurs. In this conversation with David Carr she names founderitis and its symptoms, lays out the three decisions that put a business near bankruptcy, and explains why revenue can climb while the company gets weaker. Then it gets practical: why most founders built a job instead of a business, how to move from operator to owner, and the one skill worth more than any technical talent, going deep into your customer's pain until you can describe it better than they can. You will walk away knowing what to look at first, and why if it is a money issue, it is not really an issue.
