Shaherose Charania, Partner at Unshackled Ventures is sitting down with Eric Ries, creator of The Lean Startup and author of the new book Incorruptible, and Incorruptible Partner with us at Unshackled Ventures to ask the question founders might be turning over in their heads:

If you’re a founder, investor, or operator trying to build something that lasts, this one is for you.
