Working with startups? these are the three things you ought to know about startup teams

Brattstrom, Anna LU (2019) In Technology Innovation Management Review 9(11). p.5-14
Abstract

While much has been written about how startups work to develop their product, this paper focuses instead on how to manage the startup team. Based on a systematic review of current research, I present actionable insights about startup team characteristics; who they are, how they work, and how they stay together. I explain how these characteristics imply both opportunities and threats for the viability of the teamand discuss how startup teams can bemanaged to increase the likelihood of their survival and growth. Given that the majority of startup failures are attributed to the team, not to the product, these insights are valuable both to aspiring entrepreneurs and to their external stakeholders.
