This is one of the best posts I have read on start-ups in a while. I have been through all 12 directly or indirectly. Not as a founder (rather the sole founder doesn't call me a co-founder) but the founder was blanking out. It is definitely testing time. We shut-down operations. Ran into debt and paid off with consulting/free lancing money in 4-5 months. After all that I was drained out. - Do I know the reality? Yes very much. Your time and effort in a startup can't be matched with cash even if u exit for few million dollars. It is just the satisfaction that stays. - Do I fear of starting again - Will I sign up to go through that again ? Inspite of going through hell, now i know what I am signing up for if it goes wrong and I am better prepared. But would I do it for a startup which is not mine, No.
