Seven Deadly Founder's Sins: A VC's View

Interesting perspective from venture capitalist David Beisel of the seven deadly sins that distract entrepreneurs from the true path to success: inauthenticity, sloth, extravagance, taciturnity, greed, arogance, indecisiveness.  A couple of these probably only get elevated to the level of "deadly sin" for investor-backed (esp. VC-backed) businesses, e.g. taciturnity and greed (at least greed in the sense Beisel identifies) but the others make the hit parade for any type of start-up.
