Your 3 months was my 3 years. Our biggest problem was that we were funded by our founder to the tune of several million dollars. It took us 2 years to launch our product. The mix of having cash but no outside investors to report to (we did in the end but by then it was too late to matter) meant there was no urgency. We were insanely inefficient and slow moving. We lived in a bubble for 2 years drinking our own koolaid. The founders were first time entrepreneurs and all the staff were too young to know better. Though I learned a ton (mostly about what not to do), it's a difficult to explain black mark on my resume. Beware first time founders with inside $$.
