Fortunately, you can go in prepared thanks to these lessons from high-growth founders who’ve just about seen it all. 

• New entrepreneurs or people fantasizing about becoming one
• Risk-taking investors who want to fund entrepreneurial dreams
• Anyone fascinated by the “backstage” of the business world
