Entrepreneurship Is A Team Sport.
Entrepreneurship is often portrayed as a solitary pursuit: one person, one vision, building against the odds.
The reality is almost always more collaborative than that image suggests.
"No one builds alone."

Even founders working without a co-founder rely on a network: mentors, early customers, family, other entrepreneurs willing to share what they've learned.
That support rarely makes it into the highlight reel, but it's almost always there.
