Startups are definitely emotionally draining, and while I would like to believe in my resiliency, if I didn't have two awesome co-founders there in the trenches with me, I'm not sure I'd still be fighting the good fight (Thanks Ricky and Mark!). I can't seem to find all of the details about Smart Bear, but it sounds like it was a bootstrapped, solo founder operation (not sure how quickly he hired those 4 people). That amazes the hell out of me. Solo founders in general seem like magical Django ponies with how they're able to juggle and prioritize product, customers, etc. But the hardest part of being a solo founder must be not having the emotional support of a team working till all hours of the morning with you. I know Ray of Ginzametrics has said that his family is a huge help almost to the point where his wife is almost like a cofounder. Any solo founders out there, I'm interested to hear how you recharge/support yourself emotinally.
