navigating a downturn
Every startup executive needs a recession playbook
I co-founded two separate startups just before downturns struck, yet I successfully navigated one through the 2000 dot-com bust and the
second through the 2008 financial crisis
Both companies not only survived but thrived
One went public and the second was acquired by Mastercard.I hope my lessons learned prove helpful to building your own recession game plan.
