You Don’t Need to Know a P&L to Start a Company (But You Should Learn Fast)

You don’t need to know a P&L to start a company, but you should learn fast. Find someone who’s been through it before and watch how they think about money, not just how they count it. If you’re grant funded, treat every project review like a board meeting and present your finances as if they were company accounts. Act like a CTO or CEO to become one.
