SnackSquare[0]. It wasn't `mine` precisely, but I was considered a co-founder (on some days; on others I was just a hired coder.) The strange situation was because I started working on it from the first day, had verbal agreement about equity, but was unwilling to move next to the business founder in New York.
The project was almost a child to me. You know how engineers can attach themselves to the stuff they create. The train wrecked in the end, engineers lost interest in moving targets and neverending milestones. It would have saved it if we received customer feedback in the early stages.
It wasn't my first job, but first in its kind. It didn't inspire me in the way that successful companies do -- but it certainly constantly reminds me about the path I should be walking.
