Honestly, my first startup failed and it has taught me a lot. The thump of failure helped me realize the Importance of a strong team that is well aligned with your vision. Without a good team, no business will sustain longer. Adapting to good people management strategies and hiring the right talent has definitely helped us over time with the second startup.
