This is what I learnt sitting on the board of a 3 person startup that grew to 61,000 employees in 6 countries.

1/ Know when to move on
The Ninja Van founders were running a startup making custom shirts. Marcella was not doing well.
While running Marcella they realised existing logistics providers are not set up for e-commerce.
So they left Marcella to start Ninja Van.
2/ A founding team that stays together despite a failed startup has a much better shot at success with their next startup
Marcella had 5 founders. 2 of the 5 left early to start Ninja Van. After Marcella shut down, the remaining 3 joined. All 5 are still at Ninja Van today.

How did we conclude that the best way to prepare kids for the future is to cluster them into a setting where they are organized by age, into grades, and forced to learn the same things, at the same time and pace, 7 hours a day, 5 days a week, for 12 + years? @anafabrega11
This is sad, but most kids are preparing for jobs that will be irrelevant in the future. - @vladstan
