STARTUP QUESTIONS ANSWERED.

Startups are hard work. Resources are scarce, time is tight and you're often working in uncharted territory. When everything is going great, there's nothing better. But sometimes you have an issue that you'd like to discuss with someone. Or maybe you just have a general startup question. Getting perspectives from entrepreneurs and investors who have built successful startups can be invaluable in those cases. That's where FounderLine comes in.

FounderLine's host, Joe Beninato, has started, advised and invested in dozens of startups. Each week, Joe and a guest entrepreneur or investor will share insights and advice with you LIVE. Call in, text or tweet your questions and learn how others have tackled similar issues.
