This is a new segment where we answer questions that we get from founders in private - the things that they're too afraid to ask just anyone.  In this week's episode we tackle three questions that have come up in our recent conversations with founders. We discuss:  1) How do I know if I'm building the right thing? 2) What can I do if my cofounder is not pulling their weight? 3) When is it okay to pay myself? To answer these questions, we pull from our own experience and tell you the exact advice we've given to entrepreneurs in the accelerator programs we work with so you can apply it to your own business. We discuss what you can do to know if you're on the right track with your business, how to have difficult conversations with your co-founder about the work that's being done and being honest with yourself about the work you're doing, and the right way to think about compensation in the early days.
