The Paranoia of Startups

Co-founder dynamics can be notoriously challenging. But Waseem Daher and his co-founders, Jeff Arnold and Jessica McKellar, are now building their third business together. Their most recent company is Pilot, which they started in 2016 to solve a pain point they experienced as founders: how time-consuming it can be to manage company finances. Pilot is now the largest startup and SMB bookkeeper in the United States, serving over 1,900 clients. Waseem shares why speed is the most critical advantage for startups to leverage, how he learned to delegate in later stages, and why a founder's strongest ethical obligation is to their customers and team.
