Ten traps in the entrepreneurial journey

At 23, I was in Forbes and all over national media. Young crazy live entertainment entrepreneur coming from tech, bringing top-notch international music star shows to multiple European cities, competing with Live Nation Entertainment, partnering with AEG and major artist agencies like Creative Artists Agency, United Talent Agency, Paradigm Talent Agency.

By 25, I was taking quick loans from my phone to pay security guards in cash so a concert would happen. And was again all over the media, as the loser of the year. I shot this (thanks Valdis Krumins) past winter for starting entrepreneurs during Latvia-Cambridge Venture Camp at Stockholm School of Economics. A participant asked me which of the 10 entrepreneurial traps that I shared I've hit. Actually, all of them. Some twice. I'll post a few of them here as real-life stories.

You can watch the video on my original post on Linkedin.

P.S. Meet me in Boston next week and New York the week after during TECH WEEK by a16z for a discussion on these traps. Details: https://thebstage.com/
