This post completely resonated with me as a former Googler making the leap into startup founder. It's been drinking from a firehose learning what it takes to get a product off the ground. What I've found is that the entrepreneur community is extremely supportive of each other.
For other Xoogler Entrepreneurs out there, a couple of us have started a Xooglerpreneur community with over 600+ Xoogler/Googler entrepreneurs. The group has been hosting monthly tech talks, founders lunches, and other networking events. We have active local chapters in LA and NYC with additional groups growing in Chicago and London.
There is an active Slack channel and the group is organizing an Xooglerpreneur Demo Day later this year as well as setting up an Xoogler Angel Fund.
