Dr. Luis Martínez has guided more than 300 founders from early stage to exit. He's mentored at Capital Factory, Geekdom, MassChallenge, and Techstars. He co-founded San Antonio Startup Week. He's seen every version of the founder story — including the ones that don't get told. This is that story. Chances are your startup will fail. Chances are you won't attract investors or you're talking to the wrong ones, or you shouldn't be talking to investors at all. Chances are your team is wrong, your strategy is wrong, or you're measuring success the wrong way. Chances are no one is coming to save you. Life is not fair. In 30 minutes, Luis will lay out the hard truths most founders don't hear until it's too late — and then ask the only question that actually matters. What are you going to do about it?
