Oooh, I know this one!
I spent about a decade as a PM in early-stage enterprise software companies (Box and Talkdesk, among others) and left in 2019 to open a dog boarding business!
I found real estate, had plans drawn up, got permits, found a contractor and ways a few days away from closing my SBA loan. Then the bank called and said they were putting a hold on new underwriting because of this COVID thing... this was March of 2020.
Had to shut that down before I ever opened my doors, but then I started a dog treat business, and that's going well!
