In August I quit my cushy (cushy!) day job to go full time on my startup, fully bootstrapped, living on my savings account. I discovered what panic attacks were, and made it to February a few months ago before getting a less cushy day job. Although I had the financial runway to go longer, I didn't have the mental fortitude to keep it up with a wife and three kids I have to provide for. We're still continuing nights and weekends at a much slower pace, but at a much more sustainable pace. The biggest challenge is keeping a moonlighting team motivated. My decision to fully vest my cofounders up front is paying off with this approach. I suspect it will be another 6-12 months before we go live at this point.
