Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

This article discusses the concept of a "rebuilding year" in professional sports, where teams trade their best players for future prospects, and applies this framework to businesses deciding whether to focus on current growth or future investments. Companies should carefully consider factors such as their growth rate, market opportunities, and available resources when deciding whether to prioritize winning today or building for tomorrow. Have explicit conversations with the team and board to ensure everyone agrees on the chosen strategy.
