Tracy previously posted about her former failed cofounder[0] experience (before Julia came aboard), this one is about a failed hire, but she has a lot more stories about failed acquisitions, fundraising, and products. I've experienced some of these things with my own startup too but it never ceases to amaze me how diverse and different, yet universal, the "hard parts" of startups are.
I wish more people were brave enough to talk about that side.

- limedaring 14y agoThanks. :) A lot of people at Startup School were more than happy to talk about the troubles they went through, but only after the fact — it was really hard for me to press submit to talk about current troubles. So much pressure for startup bullshit out there!

- limedaring 14y agoThat's awesome, haven't seen that before. Funny because I was just at Brooklyn Beta and Ben spoke at length about how he didn't know what he was doing and attributed some of Svpply's "failure" to his run as CEO.
