In today's episode, I talk with Dave Koslow, Co-Founder of DocSend, about how to get a startup off the ground. We explore the following topics:

1.   What are some of the biggest problems that Co-Founders should address early on in forming a startup?

2.  How do non-technical co-founders align expectations and incentives with Technical co-founders?

3.  Besides putting together a founding team, what are the most pivotal first steps towards building a startup? Where should founders begin?

4.  Why does Dave believe that, "Build it and They Will Come" is terrible advice for a first-time founder?

5.  When should a startup focus on developing strong unit economics with an eye towards profitability versus hyper-growth?
