What makes you think this is my first startup and what makes you think I haven't failed before?
Not everyone gives up after one. Not everyone is forced to work after failure because they weren't smart with their personal finances.
- nostrademons 17y agoFWIW, I could've afforded to keep going 2-3 times as long as I did. The limiting factor was ideas: all my ideas were lame, so I decided to work for a company that was doing not-lame things, gain some experience, build some contacts, and try again. I don't know what you're working on or what your goals are, so I have no idea how much this applies to you. But for me, the idea of doing the same wrong thing over and over again is more futile than just giving up. So I decided to do something radically different, roll the dice in another way, and see where it takes me.
