Most startups don’t die from bad code. They die from bad leadership.
In this episode of The Forge of Unicorns, I sit down with Bryony Cooper (VC, founder, and human-first investor) to unravel the silent killers of startup growth: vanity metrics, boardroom dysfunction, and uncoached leadership.
🚨 You’ll learn:
• Why professionalism becomes non-negotiable at Series A/B
• How bad behavior at the top spreads like wildfire
• Why burnout isn’t a founder failure—it’s a system failure
• How elite organizations scale people and systems together
• The power of a neuroscience-based leadership dojo to rewire culture
“Every type of business is about people first.” – Bryony Cooper
“You don’t find unicorns. You breed them via behavioral engineering” – Michele Brissoni
📈 If you’re still betting on tools instead of people, you’re scaling chaos.
