I made a small startup while backpacking. It was called backpackbud. Contained list of hostels, tips, things to do etc Maintinaing it was pain, backpackers are cheap and I didn’t make any money. It died. Then I started bewolo.com with some friends. Those friends brought in their friends and I was the only technical guy. My shares were <10% and I had little social life while building it. It was around travel space. Think airbnb for things to do. I got burnt out. Working for a big company and building a startup at some time is really hard. I got burnt and left. Other founders couldn’t run it and it died eventually. Startups are hard. We only hear about the successes and big IPOs and think I can do it too. I’m probably going to do it again but this time, try to go full time for at-least an year.
