Fortune launches advice column for entrepreneurs

Fortune magazine has launched “Ask Andy,” a bi-weekly advice column for entrepreneurs and start-up founders.

It will be written by Andy Dunn, co-founder of e-commerce pioneer Bonobos and an investor in and advisor to other startups.

Dunn is the author of “Burn Rate: Launching a Startup and Losing My Mind,” a memoir on mental illness and entrepreneurship. The 2022 best-seller candidly explored his struggle with building a business from scratch while wrestling with undiagnosed bipolar disorder. He recently wrote for Fortune on knowing when to quit your startup and admit failure.

“Andy has built a wealth of experience as a startup and VC, all while being keenly aware of the mental and physical toll entrepreneurs pay on their journeys,” says Fortune editor-in-chief Alyson Shontell in a statement. “We are thrilled Fortune readers can tap into his wisdom, candor, and humor.”
