The Navigator focuses on founder competency. It helps new entrepreneurs prepare for their founder role so they can captain their startup successfully. Most first-time entrepreneurs focus their energy exclusively on their product idea and launch their company without understanding the significance of their founder role and responsibilities. Most do not examine their own qualifications and acquire essential founder skills. They don’t realize that their exciting new business has no chance of success if they fail at the helm as skipper. Each new founder needs to invest time and energy for founder development so they will be well prepared for their entrepreneurial journey. A product idea may evolve or change completely during the life of a startup. The one constant that can affect its future is the founder, who needs to be as well qualified and prepared as can be before setting sail. Proper planning prevents poor performance.
