Absolutely must agree with this. While you definitely need to put in a helluva lot of effort and passion and be absolutely driven... if you skip socializing, you won't just destroy your startup, you'll destroy yourself in the process. Seriously. Partying & socializing can be huge distractions for sure, but social skills atrophy, so you have got to balance the two. A startup founder that doesn't reconnect with the real world once in a while runs too much risk of building something no-one wants.
