Absolutely, in hindsight there would have been different ways we could have managed the board more effectively from the start, and saved ourselves grief (and likely created even more value).  At 22 y&#x2F;o we lacked the experience to do this.  (And don&#x27;t worry, you couldn&#x27;t possibly be harsher on us than we were on ourselves once the dust settled and we reflected on the whole rodeo ride.)  Part of what I think incubators do well is they remove some of the crazy early stage investor dynamics that used to plague very young early stage founders who raised money from close personal networks of doctors and dentists.  The experience I wrote about is from a decade ago in the early 00s.  Before Y Combinator came along there was very little written about pre A angel investing.
