What's most frustrating and rewarding about entrepreneurship/innovation?

Frustrating: how long it takes for good startups to raise funding when they should be spending time on growing their business. Let's change the landscape and get these companies funded faster!

Rewarding: when we hear about Angeloop helping another out.

What's the No. 1 mistake entrepreneurs/innovators make?

Entrepreneurs fail to keep their investors updated on progress, problems and funding, making it harder to raise again and get help from them!

What are the top three lessons you've learned as an entrepreneur?

Follow Lean principles, simplify your initial product and try not to waste resources from day 1.
Before doing anything, find your customer, get to know them and make sure you can love them!
Look after the cashflow.
