If somebody invests in your company, invite them to an assumption workshop. 

Brant Cooper, NY Times Bestselling Author

Together with him, we tackle questions like:

• How can I write down all subconscious assumptions?
•  How can I set up an assumption workshop to really catch all my assumptions?
• How to be lean in a small or large company?
• Why do large companies measure the wrong KPIs?

Instead of entrepreneurs in residence, we should have philosophers in residence.
