~ founder - ceo of a series A startup here (raising series B soon) ~ I became a shell of my previous life. ~ barely keeping it together with my wife, 2 kids (6,10) + a large dog ~ No riches yet - just sweat, blood and tears (literally and physically) ~ took massive pay cuts, lived off of savings for 18 months before securing our first $1M in financing. This means, building back up our savings with a so so salary these days. ~ No glory until a massive exit. Until then, praying that my marriage doesn't fall apart or my health.
